http://developer.x-plane.com/The new process with Ted’s code is much better:
Import the TIFF files into WED as orthophotos.
Hit control-B to build your scenery pack.
Go get a coffee – WED is grinding your TIFFs to DDS for you, which is a time-consuming operation. Don’t worry, it won’t grind them again unless you change the source file.
Open in X-Plane and enjoy your orthophotos – with correct load-center directives!
final results
No hand-editing pol files, no chance for human error, and of the four steps, two you already do now and one involves beverages. What’s not to like? This screenshot shows the results of importing the TIFF files into WED and the resulting scenery pack.
This level of automation is how all of the scenery tools should work and it’s nice to finally reach a point in WED where we can add this level of convenience.
