Using GIS data to create FSX autogen
Last month at the FSKonferenz in Paderborn I gave a presentation titled “Using GIS data to create FSX autogen”. I have now made a recording of this presentation and put it on YouTube so that those who where not at the conference can also see it. The presentation covers how autogen works, what GIS data […]
Autogen creation workflow
I have made a new video tutorial that demonstrates the typical workflow I use to create autogen from OpenStreetMap data. In this tutorial I am creating forests, buildings and lights as FSX autogen. The tutorial also explains way to classify the buildings into types and categories, for example industrial or residential buildings.
