I welcome the help. Thank you Statto. Anything you can do to clean up the bucket boundaries would be very helpful.

Sounds good. Send me a link to the shapefiles and I'll make it happen.

If you want to regenerate the rest of Hawaii at the same time I can probably solve that pretty quickly as well without using the .btg software; should not be that hard to regenerate the files.

The difference with Oahu is that there is a significant amount of hand-drawn scenery at very high resolution. The other islands don't have this.

Please test elevation mesh for other islands - the waterfalls I've place in Hawaii are sort of fragile because they're crafted into the mesh, and if Kauai, Maui or Molokai come out differently, the waterfalls will be submerged and have to be re-done (and I'd hate to get that broken in the release version).

Appreciate it Statto. Shapefiles can be found here...

Looking at the shapefiles, this is a tremendous piece of work but there still seem to be some problems with roads; in particular 400250_Freeway. Which folder should I be using? I picked "Hawaii"

Hi Statto,

The merged files are in Honolulu/data/.

I suspect it to be easier to discard the Freeway and Road shapefiles and just use fresh line data. Ideally, those freeway/road "holes" should be eliminated/collapsed down to the underlying landclass.

If you free this is a "tremendous" amount of work then I can handle it myself. I'm tempted to try to do more cleanup before the shapefile creation to eliminate some of the post-processing editing.
In the current state of the files, I see it as a bunch of v.clean & v.dissolve operations with GRASS.

Did you have any other post-processing ideas?

Will take another look. It appeared as if there were a number of layers which had "lines" along boundary edges.

I can easily not import Road/Freeway layers and regenerate the files if I can get them imported properly.

Cleaning of the shapefiles is complete. Terrain regeneration completed. Ready for TerraSync.

Is this solved? I've been flat out recently.

Also are the hangars still there on the east side of the airport?

Awesome!

Shapefiles and Terrain is done. I made some improvements to the coastline. Used fresh data from OSM for roads and streams.
I'm not doing any more work with the terrain since Torsten is likely to use his new version.

Many new objects placed around the island (e.g. wind turbines, cranes, etc.)
All the files are in my repo (CustomScenery folder) if you want to have a test run.

Didn't have time to fully rework the groundnet. AI follows the taxiways and runways fine, but things are messy near the terminals.

Really nice job!
Quick question: has the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Field been added too in terms of 2D layout? It's the annexed military area sharing same runways.

i really really really hope that someone is fixing the groundnet for PHNL... all of the parking spaces are named "A11" and that's just wrong :( it would be good to get the new groundnet into terrasync before the release so it can be tested and worked with... i've been looking for it since PHNL was decided to be the next default airport but i've not said anything openly about it... there's only six days left before the release if everything flows together properly... files like the groundnet can be updated at any time in terrasync... i'm not sure how the default airport blob is made... whether it is from terrasync contents or some other method... it'll probably need to be remade anyway with new changes...
