Also Google images doesnt care about whether you'll be able to use them over copyright stuff. I haven't looked it up much, but for open source and public domain photos I am addicted to Wikimedia commons - although I doubt they'll have much of KJAC. Pay me $200 and I'll drive there and take all the bloody pictures you want. Just kidding. $300. I'll keep hunting. NEVER MIND. This is what turned up... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Jackson_Hole_Airport... not much. If I ever get around to doing a Grand Teton road trip like I was supposed to, I'll do that for you. That could be years.

I still think being able to simulate an Apollo mission would be second to nothing. Then again you'd need someone to build a functional multi-stage launch vehicle with 3 stages plus separable LEMs and command modules and yeah I'm just dreaming and babbling at this point... but honestly, would that not be the coolest thing X-Plane had ever simulated? EVER?

I think X-Plane will be complete when someone produces an addon allowing users to simulate moon landings. THAT would be BEYOND cool. I seriously mean BEYOND cool.

Google... (http://www.google.ca/)

Nice - May want to turn off dimming under g-force Cool video!

Sounds like most of Canada.

Holy cow... and to think that so much of this has become automatic for me now. Seeing as I just wasted hours of Chris's life figuring out how to use GeoJasper in terminal, I can't say I'm perfect and speedy at this stuff, but it makes me appreciate what is yet to be learned.

I believe their intentions are to make it possible to use custom polygons as pavement... therefore allowing the programming to assume all *.pol files are pavement... but then why would there be a point to transparency since the built in satellite imagery has been discontinued?

Where is the other scenery from? The surrounding orthophotos?

RESOLVED Laminar Reasearch has stupidly considered all draped polygons as pavement to be considered transparent. That didn't happen before... or am I completely lacking observational skills?

I started the new release of world editor... only to be disgusted as it refuses to show me the orthos in my scenery projects - including completed ones that I know work. Any suggestions (other than reinstall the old one?) Am I missing a new option?

Using the amazing knowledge Chris K has given me, I'm starting a huge project that was my original X-Plane scenery goal. At the same time, I'm starting work on a full City of Kamloops Orthophoto scenery to go along with airport. Cheers!

0.0 that is nothing. holy crap. I think I'll buy it. DONE.

Just out of curiosity, as I'm hoping to update my system, how much does that machine cost?

By jove, holy shiznitz, I did it. Thanks a million... My lord that was way harder for you to teach me than it should have been. Now I get it. And I'm out of your hair. Sing hallelujah. Thanks... yet again. I'm going to find myself a nice bash shell for dummies pdf to drop onto my ereader for the trip.

I re-extracted the original files. Now, after running them, bam. What the hell am I doing wrong!? I've even re-downloaded the files in case my stupidity destroyed even the zip file.

Don't worry, I leave for 4 days tomorrow morning, you get 4 days of peace. EDIT: I noticed a difference. As you mentioned in your post regarding the forsaken > symbol, your command line was was terminated by (...)Downloads> while mine is terminated by (...)ColinS$ and not the directory within which I'm trying to screw around. What's happening there?

This is what you suggested, Chris K: chrisk@MacBookPro:~/Downloads> geojasper --input 17TNH955970_200810_0x3000m_CL_1.jp2 --output myfile.tifGeoJp2 info found...TIFF file encoded!Done!chrisk@MacBookPro:~/Downloads>This is what I did: (my terminal opens with my username along with my computer name) geoapps is the name of the folder within my downloads folder that contains all the geojasper files.

Knowing nothing about how to perform anything within Terminal, I attempted to run one of the included sample scripts and it gave me exactly the same thing that every single other script that I've ever tried running has given me.

What I need to use (I think) is GDAL Translate, could you give an example of what to type into Terminal (or into CMD on a PC) to make this work? I understand what all the functions within the programs are and what they mean, but actually running the program is a story in itself...

I'm not a command line guy, I can't get my head around that kind of program (since they never seem to work on my Mac, it just runs the program then logs out of Terminal without asking me what I actually wanted to do). I'll look into that one. Thanks so much! EDIT: I think I may need a long time to learn this stuff. So far reading through the program function descriptions I'm not understanding it in any way. Before I take that time... GDAL does maintain those coordinates then, right?

WHAT THE mines missing that box. This is weird. Time to sift through settings.

How does one go about converting JP2 image files with geo metadata to GeoTIFF without altering or losing the embedded metadata? If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know... or even if you know how to import JP2 geotagged imagery directly into X-Plane 10 (WED doesn't read JP2). I know this should be in scenery development, but lots of people who don't do scenery do graphics. Cheers.

That's not available for me.

I've been wondering about this since I changed it back in February. I'd like to use it to put up announcements about my development so that I wouldn't be flooding the forums every time I had a little tiny update to make. Cameron?

Looking forward to the release! I've never tried flying in Greece in XP10 but this may possibly make that happen
