Photoscenery LOD Value

Post by Alan McGaughey » Mon Dec 24, 2007 6:39 pm

Hi All,

How can I change the LOD value that SBuilderX uses to compile photoscenery?

I am making photoscenery airport backgrounds which need to show above a pre-existing photoscenery, the values I need to use in the .ini file for the LOD setting is "4,15", I cannot find a way to change this parameter, can anyone help?

Many thanks and Merry Christmas

Alan McGaughey

Hello Alan,

SBuilderX will use the LOD=Auto value. To use a different setting, you will have to compile manually.

So, first compile with SBuilderX. Then, in the Work folder you should find the generated inf file. Change the value there and compile the project manually.

Best regards.

Luis

Hi Luis and Allan,

Happy New Year!

It is very simple for me to recompile SBuilderX so that it reads the INI file for this LOD parameter. In a recent post on the AVSIm forum, I have admitted this possibility.

However, as I did not received any feedback (and because I am not using SbuilderX) I do not know if this worths, say, 30 minutes of work.

To Luis:

I downloaded yesterday CamStudio free (offer available until January 7th) at:

http://pctutorials.at3host.com/camtasia.html

and I am considering it to prepare some materials for my students here at my university. I thought that I could make a set of basic video tutorials for SBX, but my English (to record voice on top of video) is not as good as it should be for that purpose. Any how, I thought the link above would be of interest to you,

Best Regards,

Luis

Luis is this the same kind of tool you linked already before? "getbackground"

Kind regards
