CFS3 Terrain Creation - is anyone still around?

[sdsbolt]

there is talk of a working version of rgn2lso here

https://sim-outhouse.org/sohforums/threads/cfs3-lso-tool.14686/

but it seems to be lost to time

Well, that doesn't sound hard, if you know what you're looking for. Therein lies the rub I suppose.

you mean finding a working copy of RGN2LSO?

Figuring out how to fix it. If you open the exe with a hex editor, you can find some file paths. Perhaps it's those that need some adjustments.

That's happened to me too! Must have been a Windows update messing things up.

I continue to use Global Mapper to help me create facilities files that can be moved in and out depending upon the mission.

I start off with a screenshot of a square area with topos installed. In this case the area is 9k x 9k a portion of San Pedro Bay



I then use G-Max to place the objects to create a facilities file. The file can be moved in and out via scendb.exe depending upon the date of the mission. In this particular case the file adds lsts, crates on runway and invasion ships in bay a few days after initial invasion .

is it normal to get these telegraph/telephone lines when exporting a major_road vector with mkgnd tool? I can't say I recall seeing it happen before.

I remember, but can't find, a thread from long ago that discussed having these poles only along railway lines versus generating low walls along the roads. I think it may have been in 2016.

In Terrains folder /terrdata.zip or you can remove the textures for the telephone poles and for the wire.
