I want to use some data I have to make terrain files for FlightGear. The data is only for one geo-cell ( 1 deg lat by 1 deg long ), and from the looks of things, the borders of the data in the *.arr files overlap, so I was thinking of not using the data for the adjacent geo-cells. Is it true that if the borders don't overlap, it could confuse FlightGear? Anyhow, I looked at the how the DEM files were being broken up from the DEM-30 standard files. For the geo-cell I'm interested in, it outputs 32 *.arr.gz files (4 longitude files by 8 latitude files). I was going to try to sneak my data into the *.arr.gz files. My data for the one geo-cell contains 1201x1201 posts with a separation of 8 arcseconds. So I was going to keep the names of the *.arr.gz files the same, and format the data in the files like so: latitude_arcseconds longitude_arcseconds 151 8 301 8 301 data posts on this line 150 more lines of data with 301 data posts each If I break up the data like as described above, place it in a DEM-3/wAAAnBB/wCCCnDD folder and run the fgfs-tools-server and fgfs-tools-client, should I get output data that FlightGear can read? Is my formatting incorrect? Any insights are greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ Terragear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/terragear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
