gassa Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi,I'm new to X-PLane (using version 9.44) and tried to convert my first scenery with FS2XPLANE.The scenery i wanted to convert is Flytampa's Vienna.I know that you get floating objects when you leave "Runway follows terrain" set to on, so I deactivated it.All objects on the airport semm to be converted as they shoult, but the ground textures, als well as the taxiway and runway textures seem to dissapear under a white texture layer (Winterworld 2.0 is also installed).I added some pictures:My settings in FS2XPLANE:And the result:Does anybody here have an idea, what is going wrong, or what I am doing wrong?Thanks in advance.Kind regardsmartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to download "Overlay Editor" and remove any objects that should not be there.Overlay Editor is very easy to use.Goran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gassa Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi,Pictures should show now.I tried to remove the white texture using Overlay Editor, but the object can't be highlighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gassa Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi again,I just tried to convert the scenery again and noticed, that FS2XPLANE simply skips the ground textures during conversion. All ground textures are DXT3 files 1024x1024 with a size of 1.366kB.Kind regardsMartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi, Martin,The white texture you see is the default winter world airport texture. This is a defined polygon point that specifies that texture needs to be there REGARDLESS of whether you have the custom scenery there or not.Here's what's likely to be happening...FS2XPlane does NOT convert most FS X orthophotos. As such, the suggestion is to convert using an FS9 version of the scenery (if available), or creating your own overlay to fit your needs.

gassa Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hi Cameron,The scenery i try to convert is a FS9 scenery. It was released quite long before FSX was avaiable.Is it possible that the filesize of the orthophotos is to big? It seems as if only the "big" files (1MB and above) get skipped during conversion.RegardsMartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hi, Martin,Large textures should convert over just fine. It's very odd you're having this problem with an FS9 conversion!I'll try and investigate this further... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaidenFan Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I'm a mac user and I'm totally lost with converting FlyTampa TNCM Scenery. I can't open the .exe file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samen Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Well you have to run the exe on a windows machine first then convert it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
