If anyone can convert the script to Windows, I'll be happy to include it in the distros.

(The longer-term goal is to incorporate osm2city and scenery objects into my scenery properly, but that's still a ways off, and I'm nervous about the computing power it will require.)

I found the issue. When I downloaded your scenery there were files inside the folder with names like Building, Models etc. so when I ran the mklink /j, which is the ln -svf equivalent on windows, it always said that it cannot create a file that already exists. So I solved that by deleting those files without file extensions and the mklink /j worked flawlessly.

Here is the bash script translated into a batch file:

Code: Select all

@echo off
echo Linking to TerraSync directories for osm2city...

for %%d in (Buildings Details Models Objects Pylons Roads) do (
    mklink /j %%d "%USERPROFILE%\FlightGear\Downloads\TerraSync\%%d"
)

echo done
exit /b 0

Thank you! I will include that in my next builds

No problem, it was my pleasure just remember to delete the files without file extensions that you need to link to TerraSync, otherwise it will output the same error that I got.

I also found an airport that is a bit indented in the ground, PAMK specifically.

to be clear, those are not files... they are directories that contain other directories and files deeper inside them...

I know that but when you download david's scenery folder the Buildings, Models etc. "folders" are not that because they do not contain anything and you cannot open them, they are probably meant as placeholders for the real folders from terrasync.
