When you run terragear it should get generated it's the step when genapps850 is used to build the airport

Why the hack do you even ask that????
You've already got the .btg.gz files for your airports in your git repo...

Because the terrain is bugged just like OKBK and i used the default btg files from the FG scenery except these files OJAI.btg.gz, OIIE.btg.gz and OMAA.btg.gz those were custom

your screenshots look bad...
have you created the airport files yet or where the files in the repo you've previously had (https://github.com/UmKhammas9/Terrain/t ... in/Terrain) a copy of the terrasync?

Okay, one last time, step by step:
* Go to https://gateway.x-plane.com/airports and download the package for your desired airport. (login required)
* Unzip that, you need the apt.dat file from it, throw away the rest
* Go to http://beta.tgweb.org/TGBuild/ and follow the instructions
* Once you've downloaded the result create the directory structure (Example OMAA)
your-custom-scenery/Terrain/e030n30/e035n31/
* Inside you add:
* The result OMAA.btg.gz
* The .stg File from terrasync that mentions it
* The .btg.gz file from terrasync which has the same number as the .stg file above.
* Add the your-custom-scenery directory as custom scenery in the launcher and try it out.
* If there are issues with the terrain, check if the airport it self looks fine when you remove the number.btg.gz

thank you very much on the tip it was really helpful
I tried for OEJN airport and it was a success. However for airports such as OJAI the elevation data is not right. the airport is underground somehow can you help me in modifying the elevation of the airport please

@merspieler
following the 'step by step' you posted above (thanks) I did a quick test with current EPGD data from X-Plane.
The layout of the airport is much more resembling reality, however there are issues with terrain. Also the elevation is at 0..
If you are looking into things and have a minute to spare, could you also have a look at that?

Also, there is some processing glitch which results in those 'chimneys' we discussed some time earlier. Notice that some were placed at elevation 0 during this test, like the airport..

That's along the lines what others and I also have found... elevation = 0... as there's no elevation info at all... see as well this thread

I guess that has to be resolved together with the person hosting that site

Thanks for confirming.
I had a look at the terminal output from the build process and it says:
Code: Select all
guest@terragear ~ $ cd /var/www/bin && ./genapts850 --input=/var/www/html/TGBuild/work/aptgen_61f531ef27447/apt.dat --work=/var/www/html/TGBuild/work/aptgen_61f531ef27447/work --airport=EPGD --threads

while our wiki instructions say:
if you have elevation data available:

genapts850 --input=data/airports/apt.dat --work=./work --dem-path=SRTM-3

Note the missing --dem-path option.
This might be the reason?
