• Generation of elevation map.
• Generation of download batch. Done
• Generation of osm2city batch. Done
• Generation of osm2pylons batch. Not done

Workflow

Adapt params.ini

Since the next step distributes the params.ini to several subdirectories it is advisable to edit the template params.ini

build-tiles.py

This step copies the params.ini and adds the tilename as a PREFIX.

-- Scenery folder (typically a geographic name or the ICAO code of the airport<BR>
PREFIX = w010n50/w006n55

tools[ew]XXX[ns][YY].[sh|cmd]

Generated by build-tiles.py and contains the calls to all subdirectories of the tile [ew]XXX[ns][YY].

downloadXXXX.[sh|cmd]

Generated by build-tiles.py and contains wget calls to download all the subtiles of [ew]XXX[ns][YY] into the subdirectories.

osm2cityXXXX.[sh|cmd]

Generated by build-tiles.py and contains the calls to all subdirectories of the tile [ew]XXX[ns][YY].
