2. Thanks for figuring out the Palexpo Offset. I emailed Firefly telling him that we needed to determine how much in meters we wanted to sync Palexpo. So far he had no replied. And I was unsure, so I was on the waiting. In the Repository scenery the building is somewhat sync. but your decision of making it as high as JAFVA hangar is a good compromise. We'll see if firefly calculates exact Offset, we may readjust, or you be spot on....
3. Solar hangar

Satt1,
Satt2I saw those structure I could nt explain myself, but looked like solar Hangar, so I make what's maybe a leap ?!
1. Terrasync does not accept OSM objects. I think that is an advantage. Because OSM2City objects, as their raw output cost lots of frames per seconds. A good machine goes from 50 fps to 20fps. My old machine renders useless 1 fps with extremely elevated refresh ms -- and thus terrasync distributing something like this would imply make more 'Parises' in FG world -- cute places than most can't even approach
I wanted to have the OSM2city optimized. Here meaning in the sense that the objects remained, the feeling were about the same, but the rendering cost was nullified, eliminated or reduced to useability in most machines.
The result of the optimization done with some linux bash scripts, is compelling. I tested in as many machines I could, including Simbambin and Legoboyvdlp low graphics specs machines with outstanding results. The scenery looks beautiful and the city is incredible fun for VFR flights, and the rendering cost is very very low! Almost unbelievable for such developed place (even without comparing to the rendering cost of other high developed places as LOWI, EDDF, or LFPG). The city of Geneve OSM2city looks incredible believable too.
I submitted the work to terrasync, and it was rejected with an iron fist. Do I think the rules can be bend because I want? or an exception could be made to me? -- O.K.; I guess in spite that I achieved no rendering impact, and thanks to radi's OSM city the whole Geneve 3d city rendering can be achieved, and it looks cool, great, and entertaining for VFR flying the area, the answer is: O.K. I think OSM2city buildings are exceptional, and old designed rules should be re-specified to allow this wider distribution, the final answer is -- You guys make the last word.
I withdrew the petition and set that request of upload past us.
You can give it a try to the OSM2city scenery in your computer. But if your computer is graphically very capable you won't appreciate the enormous gain in rendering performance. You can ask Lego and Simbambin on their experiences for a more accurate representation.
Have fun!
