Atlas not showing terrain on new scenery

Postby Skwawkdeez » Thu Jan 11, 2018 8:21 am

Hi All,

I've got Atlas installed and while it shows terrain on the default San Fransisco area map, its not showing it on the new one i.e. Ethiopia. It shows grids, VOR, fixes etc... and even tracks flights but no terrain

After installing Atlas, i went over the procedures on flightgear wiki on how to activate the maps using the command prompt. Its tracking the flight path, but no terrain. Just blank, like the ones you get if you hadn't installed anything

Also, in the scenery folder of the FG installation directory, i see .png of the default San Fransisco terrain, but not of the new one i installed

Check that you have created the maps correctly. There should be files with names like e001n40.png in your map directory. These files are normal png images which you can view.

I did, according to the procedures on the wiki. One thing i remembered though is that i used the SD version of the 10X10 map as opposed to the HD and then created the maps using the high res setting. Will go back and either get the HD version or create the maps with the low setting
