Re: Character encoding for Shapefiles

I'm curious to know why you need any other data than the vertices or point co-ordinates in SBX to set up lines or polys. If you remove the text fields from the shapefiles, none of this would present a problem, surely? As for the road type, to choose the line type in FSX, the one text field "type" in...

Re: Can't open SbuilderX 314 forum

Perhaps just installing (or copying the whole install from the zip file) in a location other than the "protected" Program Files or Program Files (X86) will work? You should just be able to extract everything you need directly from your download into a folder you create, for example. Luis or someone ...

Re: Tile Server Plug-Ins for SBuilderX

That seems most probable, Luis. I wonder if HERE support would be able to help? Where does the dll come from? I can contact them too see what we can do.

Re: Tile Server Plug-Ins for SBuilderX

I entered both my app_id and my app_code, generated today, into the 314 ini file. I've verified they're accurate. The section was labeled [Miscelaneous] (one "l"). I tried it as-is. I tried relabeling as [Miscellaneous] (2 l's!). Either way - imagery tiles count down and appear to load but nothing s...

Re: Tile Server Plug-Ins for SBuilderX

Just FYI - I do have 314 working on Win 10 so let us know what your problems are and perhaps we can help? (And thanks to all those on forums here particularly the Luis'es and Gary who helped me to get it going (in Win 8) when 314 came out. Subsequently it worked without any problems on 8.1 and 10. F...

HERE [Nokia] Tile Server Plug-Ins for SBuilderX

Hi Luis

I'm a bit slow asking this question (EDIT: and, sorry, I only just saw all the posts above) but where and how do I place the HERE Application Key in the .ini file? I assume it's the App ID and not the App Code?

Thanks,

ian

Seasonal Greetings and Many Thanks!

It seems there hasn't been a General Post here on the forum for a very long time. Where is everyone? :roll: Seeking help is understandable and necessary so I'm sure that's why the other areas of the forum get so much traffic - but sometimes it's nice to share when there is no problem! Though this ma...

Re: Bug in SBuilderX 3.14

Luis is, in fact, very willing to have others continue the development of SBuilder. Anybody with an interest in doing so is welcome to make themselves known here. Best regards. Luis Hi, Luis! What language(s) has Luis used in development? Was Visual Studio used? Also, were any "payware" UI or other...

I'm obviously doing something wrong now!

I had this working but now when I copy a map .bmp and .txt to a folder and then File..Add.. from disk... it always asks me Calibrate (which I do by copying lat/long from .txt file).

Any thoughts? Could it be something to do with the name of the image in the .txt file?

Default location for (Map) photo image tiles

Silly question but is ..\SBuilderX313\Tools\Work (or X314) the only possible location to write BMP and TXT files for project Photo Image ("Map") files? Is this at all configurable in the .ini file?
Thanks,

Re: Shapefiles

My second problem 8) is that I am 40 miles from Gibraltar, still a long way to Porto! Obrigado - we can perhaps worry about all this at the right time and when there is time! Now focus on the tricky currents in the Straits of Gibraltar, Luis! Make sure you don't hit Gibraltar or Ceuta... Hopefully ...

Re: SBuilderX314 complete zip

Registry entries deleted. 314 (from the full install you posted, Dick) appears to work no matter where located - Program Files or Program Files (x86). The only problem left (under Windows 8.1) that I've come across so far is the shapefile reading problem described elsewhere. Looks like everything ru...

Re: Shapefiles

(Also posted on FSDeveloper) From what I can see, because I've run under Windows 7.1 successfully and [not] under 8.1, the problem appears to be in Windows 8.1 with the shapelib.dll and the way it's used by SBX 314. The same dll functions without a problem with other applications like scenProc under...
