Hi all, I'm stuck at the moment in my airfield development since I do not get the orthophotos working in WED. I bought some Orthophotos in GEOTIFF format (at least I've been told so) from my local public authorities. Every tile has a .tif file and a .tfw file and they are in UTM coords. If I load them with WEDs pick overlay image WED crashes. Is there any hint how to check the georeference of the tiles and how to convert it to Lat Lon? thanks Nils Sent from my iPad with Tapatalk HD

Thx for this! What does it mean: "The texture is tileable"? Can it have a symmetric structure? I played around with different textures - all are distorted the same manner )see the parking area in the foreground on my pic). May be, the polygon has to be a rectangle? Nils

Thanks, I got it!

Hi Tom, I am new to X-Plane scenery development but have more and more fun! I working on a German regional airport near Berlin which I quite well know as a pilot. I made lots of photos and created most of the buildings. I made runways, taxiways signs and so on with WED and placed all the buildings. I defined a boundary and exclusion zones to exclude standard scenery. All that looks fine. Now comes the next step: foot ways, roads, fences and polygons for grass and dirt... I do not have orthophotos to use as polygons since there aren't free ones for Germany. On the image you see the biggest problems: The polygon textures (dds Files of 256x256 px referenced in the pol file referenced in WED) are distorted. And the edges are sharp, what is not very realistic. The sand area in the left is not in the right resolution... How can get the textures tiled and not distorted? How can I dither the edges between grass and foot way? How can I modify the resolution? (SCALE directive?) The pol file is like: A850DRAPED_POLYGON LAYER_GROUP airport -1TEXTURE_NOWRAP gravel.ddsSCALE 25 25 A question to the roads: I've excluded roads but they are present anyway (may be from OSM generated...). How can I get rid of them inside the airport? Any help is appreciated. ThanksNils

Hi folks, I was wondering how I can upload some pictures within my posts... Do I have to use an image hosting site? Can I upload jpegs directly? Thanks for help! Nils

Hi X-Aviation, I flew the real plane today and it was really nice! I´m looking forward to the XP plane! Any news about the schedule? Thx Nils
