In many points, creating a derived scenery for Aerofly 5 is similar to the way previously described in the AFPD workflow. The Aerofly 5 scenery setup is described in a TSC file rather than in a GEO as used by AFPD. The TSC’s structure is much more complex than the GEO’s one and, as usual, not officially documented in any ways. Here the OpenGL’s documentation is a helpful lecture to get some special things understood. For Aerofly 5, SDU creates a complete TSC file plus the required AC3D model. A note about use of “water” as material: AF5 currently (5.7.5.3) does not support the use of water in photo sceneries. Water rather behaves like ‘asphalt’ here. SDU supports in creating a number of contests for Aerofly 5:
These contests can be modeled interactively and get previewed in the 3D viewer window. |
