Download and install Julia by following the instructions at. Julia installation is straightforward, whether using precompiled binaries or compiling from source. Installing the programs FlightGearĬurrently to utilise photoscenery the minimum FlightGear version is 2020.3.18 The image shows the signs of the passage of old rivers, still visible as a difference in the color of the vegetation. The photoscenary allows to have very realistic effects on rather complex territories, such as crops in the plains. In case of doubts, the next video at SUMU Montevideo area by Manuel Aceña is recommended as a reference. Check that the Julia's window running photoscenary.jl is getting data (tiles). You should see folders of type "e000n00" containing ".dds" files. Check in C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\FlightGear\Downloads\TerraSync\Orthophotos. Give it a time, you'll get better textures progressively during your flight. Fly and check visually that you are getting textures. It will run and check with Julia, will prompt telnet connection attempts at 127.0.0.1:5000. In the right column, make sure you have the "SATELLITE PHOTOSCENERY" option activated and close the flight. In FlightGear v2020.3.18 check the following: Start the simulator (one flight) and access the menu: VIEW/RENDERING OPTIONS. Automatic download terrain in FGlauncher.

More information at the FlightGear wiki.īuildings and objects for the entire world were generated for FlightGear 2020.x, and integrated into the official scenery which is automatically downloaded as you fly by FlightGear 2020.3.7 LTS and later. This is done with a custom written python script. See the FlightGear Scenery Object Database for some examples.īuildings, roads, power cables/pylons, railways, railway platforms, piers, and other man-made objects, as mapped in OSM, can be turned into 3D models for use in FlightGear scenery. are placed according to obstructions data etc. The official scenery provides global coverage, by using a variety of data sources, including NASA's 3-arcsec SRTM data, GSHHS data and Corine Land Cover.īuildings, aerials, etc. This OSM world-scenery is automatically downloaded as you fly by FlightGear 2020.3.7 LTS and later. Buildings, roads, and objects for the entire world were generated and integrated into the official scenery in March 2021, creating a 3d visualisation of OSM data. Since November 2013, the official scenery of the simulator makes use of OSM line data.
