We've being using Sbuilder for all our Freeware Projects at Aeroworx for FSX including the LC for South Africa and will keep on doing so, lately many of Simmers in South Africa have purchase FTX Global although it does not have a custom land class for Africa the end users still enjoy the improved textures and still use our Land class as its still the best free product out there for Southern Africa. My concern now is that I saw in the terrain. cfg LC tiles was added by ORBX an due to the enormous changes to the default textures we need to make some changes to our land class (Mostly Towns). Is is possible to update the .jpg and other files used by Sbuilder as quick refrence wrt LC and polys to included the new textures of ORBX for example:
ORBX_BRAIDED_RIVER_NW_SE=79
ORBX_BRAIDED_RIVER_SW_NE=80
ORBX_FIELDS_AND_WINDBREAKS_NW-SE=81
ORBX_FIELDS_AND_WOODS_1=82
ORBX_FIELDS_AND_WOODS_NW-SE=83
ORBX_MIXED_TREES_N-S=84
ORBX_MIXED_TREES_NW-SE=85
ORBX_MIXED_TREES_NON-GRID_1=86
ORBX_IRRIGATED_FIELDS_NW-SE=87
Maybe a default version of SbuilderX and one for SbuilderX_ORBX. Due to the complexity of the African Landscape its frustrating to do polys or LC when end result in FSX is totally different what you expected due to the FTX Texture Changes. I can give our end users using FTX Global a cold Shoulder but would not like to do so.
After I installed FTX Global and opened the new terrain.cfg I really was impressed that FTX Global kept your changes to the to the original Terrain.cfg
