Reversion to Build 34 coordinate system due to incompatibilities

|
June 4, 2005
SceneGenX Build 35 posted
 | |
Many enhancements and improvements in this major update.
|
 | |
Flatten areas using SCASM code have been added. Since XML
provides no way to flatten scenery, this was added back using the old scenery method
and SCASM. This code will go into the same separate BGL that the API objects
are in.
|
 | |
Coordinate system is now very accurate in converting from latitude/longitude
to x,y coordinates over long distances. The WGS84 Geoid is used with UTM conversions
to get coordinates.
|
 | |
LWM Module is installed using the BGLC compiler to make land /
water areas on the scenery.
|
 | |
Improvements and additions to the help and tutorial section.
|
 | |
Fix on problems when the decimal delimiter is no a period.
SGX should work without error in all conventions.
|
May 8, 2005
SceneGenX Build 34 posted
 | |
API objects now enabled. API macros written in SCASM can
now be added just like other 3D objects. The compiler will use BGLComp for
XML code, and SCASM on API code, creating two BGL files which are copied over to
Flight Simulator.
|
 | |
Fix on handling of Effect Parameters
|
 | |
Fix on error on ILS frequencies - now allowed to have same frequency
on both ends of runway
|
 | |

|
 | |

|
 | |
|
October 24, 2004
SceneGenX Build 31 posted
 | |
SceneGenX now reads the MDL file to get the Bounding Box size
and the required texture files. Thanks to Arno Gerretsen for help on the mdl
file format.
|
 | |
MDL objects are show actual size and heading on the scenery.
The outline is still a rectangle, however.
|
 | |
Texture files required for the MDL file are automatically determined
during installation.
|
 | |
The MDL files can optionally be compiled to a separate library
BGL file rather than to the scenery BGL file. All MDL objects can be
put in one separate library.
|
 | |
There is an option for each MDL scenery object to put the
MDL file in the scenery BGL file or not. Testing has shown there is no FS
error if the MDL file is in both a separate library file and the scenery BGL file.
This option to include in the scenery BGL file makes it easier to distribute the
scenery.
|
 | |
Improved error reporting on installing textures for MDL files.
The message list will show any required textures that were not found.
|
October 16, 2004
SceneGenX Build 30 posted
 | |
Fix the error when selecting the same MDL file multiple times
|
 | |
Add Lines of scenery objects. Multiple evenly spaced rows
of objects can be quickly added to scenery using either default scenery objects
of user MDL objects.
|
 | |
Added Update Installation file in addition to Full Install
installation file.
|
October 5, 2004
SceneGenX Build 29 posted
 | |
Addition of user created MDL file scenery objects. To use
an MDL file, create a scenery object and click on the MDL Object tab. MDL
objects are stored in the \USERMDL directory and their textures are stored in the
\MDLTexture directory. SGX will automatically copy the MDL file into the compilation
directory to avoid location errors. A number of MDL files from the default
scenery for Phoenix and DFW Airport are included for examples
|
