Any suggestions for our plan B for Wednesday, we're happy to take ideas from new participants :) a route that takes around 1hr is perfect.

Wait, if you tell me how to get the TerraSync objects to show up in the custom scenery, I'm done !

I know, I have already proposed something, but … just as an idea … we could do some wildfire extinction ? In Turkey, there are some wildfires raging, and the local fire fighters could do with some support from us ! :wink:

Well, fires are ressource hungry.... in a comutational sense.
If we already are at the limits with just the planes, i don't think wildfires is a good idea. Maybe I'm wrong.

I am more or less done with the scenery - we can do the Brocken trip this Wednesday if you want. I have just pushed the scenery to the Git repo. (but expect some changes until Wednesday)

Great effort @TheEagle thanks for you preparation work, looking forward to Wednesday.

I don't know about the feeling in the group but for future events shall we aim to have any preparation/scenery work done a couple of days in advance? For me downloading at the last minute can sometimes leave me with fixes and settings changes which I'd rather sort out a few days before. There is no pressure here, it should be a relaxed event and we can always change to a plan B to allow more time for the event organiser :D - we have the whole world to go at - and even running previous routes in reverse is interesting and means we've doubled our routes without trying :)

If you need more time @TheEagle let me know today and I'll post a plan B if there are no other organisers contributing this week.

I second that and think scenery data stable a few days before the event is a very good thing to have. So everyone has time to download and we end up all with the same version (I remember Luckla where this was an issue).

I think so too ! It was only not possible just because I was not familiar with TerraGear. :roll:
The scenery is done not done, it could do with some minor needs some big changes - if you don't want a last minute update, we can let's do Plan B this week and Plan A next week !

ok... now, how do we insert plan B into the Information thread. @TheEagle can you copy your post into a local text document on your PC then delete the post? I'll then add the plan B which will be 'The North of Spain - Part 1' :)

Yes, I will do that this very minute ! I have put the contents in a file in the scenery repo, but I cannot delete the post - the delete button has vanished even though no one has replied ! :shock: :? :roll: I have reported it with this reason, should be gone soon …

Use this command to get photoscenery for the spain trip tomorrow:
Code: Select all
./create_bbox.pl --latLL 43.65 --lonLL -4 --latUR 44 --lonUR -2.5 -- --scenery_folder ../fgscenery/Photoscenery/Spain --theight 2048

Couldn't test though, the server currently returns a 500 error, IDK why. if I manually go to the URL used by the creator.py and export as HTML or JSON, it works, but when I want to export as Image, I get that 500 Error. Let's hope it will work until tomorrow !
