I tried this with Demo #1 and same thing you saw. It will become possible when someone releases a utility that allows the new BGL to be made into an FSX format.

This is one of the problems with a new FS. Most of the utilities need updated to match the new formats and capabilities. You want to change things but do not have any tools!!!

My first step to FSX,with new SDK tools.
Here is my inf file:

[Source]
Type = GeoTIFF
Layer = Imagery
SourceDir = "SourceData"
SourceFile = "athens.tif"
Variation = Day
NullValue = 255,255,255

[Destination]
DestDir = "Output"
DestBaseFileName = "athens_tif"
DestFileType = BGL
LOD = Auto

Hi, Paulo

You can open an image in Adobe Photoshop and save it in others formats, including *.tif.

Is that what you want to do?

José

You have to know the NorthWest and SouthEast Lat/Long of the image.
Then open it in Global Mapper and follow these steps.

Click yes.

Click ok.

Add NorthWest Lat/Long coordinates and click to "Add GCP to List".

Now add the SouthEast Lat/Long coordinates and the pixel size of the image.
(In my case 4270w 3234h)
Click again to "Add GCP to LIst" and go to the next step.

Now your image is ready to be exported as *.tiff

Check out my settings in "GeoTIFF export options" and you will have a GeoTIFF image that includs metadata.
The thing that impresses me so much is that the textures are included inside the bgl after compiling the inf file!!!
I hope I helped you as much as possible!

Hi, Paulo

dlgv32 Pro is a limited-feature version of commercial software called Global Mapper which was created from the original dlgv32 source code. Improved to address changes in data standards and to better meet customer requirements, dlgv32 Pro continues the tradition of providing quality viewing software for USGS data users. The USGS has obtained from Global Mapper a license to freely distribute this limited-feature version.

Paulo,

O programa que lhe indiquei (DLGV pro) é free e tem as mesmas funções do Global Mapper. Eu o utilizo há alguns anos.

Se tiver alguma dúvida quanto ao uso, mande-me um e-mail para meu endereço, que terei prazer em ajudá-lo.

Abraços,

José

Oi, Paulo

Ainda não procurei fazer. Estou aguardando algumas dicas nos foruns a respeito dos novos SDK e então vou considerar a adaptação de alguns trabalhos nossos.

Até agora quais cenários você já adaptou ao FSX?

Abraços,

José

Ainda não fiz nada em respeito ao FSX devido minha maquina ser
fraca para ele, então não adianta fazer nada agora, mas vou esperar
o pessoal começar e vamos ver no que da.
Estou vendo que vc gosta de fazer cenarios, temos uma comunidade
de cenaristas no endereço www.terra-brasilis.org convido vc a
entrar e ser mais um membro, estamos fazendo alguns cenarios, e quem sabe, vc possa nos ajudar
Abraço
