Using TerraGear: Difference between revisions

You will now have a work directory, with subdirectories like:

{|

|

: AirportArea

: AirportObj

: Bog

: DryCropPastureCover

: EvergreenBroadCover

: GrassCover

: IrrCropPastureCover

: Lake

: Landmass

: Marsh

| valign="top" |

: MixedForestCover

: Railroad

: Road

: Sand

: ScrubCover

: Shared

: SRTM-3

: Stream

: Town

: Urban

Now we can actually generate the scenery. This is done by the fgfs-construct command. Run the command with <code>--help</code> to get usage information.  

* The work (--work-dir) and output (--output-dir) directories.

** '''Note''' about the output directory: this must point to a <tt>Terrain/</tt> directory, else recent FlightGear versions will be unable to load the terrain.

* The center of the scenery we want to generate (--lat, --lon).

* The radius (--xdist, --ydist) from which to generate.

{{Pre2|<nowiki>fgfs-construct --work-dir=./work --output-dir=./output/Terrain --lon=55 --lat=60 --xdist=3 --ydist=3 AirportArea SRTM-3 AirportObj Stream Bog IrrCropPastureCover Town Lake Urban Landmass Railroad DryCropPastureCover Road EvergreenBroadCover Marsh Sand MixedCropPastureCover ScrubCover GrassCover MixedForestCover</nowiki> }}

When this finishes, the output directory will contain a scenery sub-tree. Point to it by setting either [[$FG_SCENERY]] or by using the --fg-scenery command-line option to fgfs, and give your new scenery a try!
