CFS3 Terrain Creation - is anyone still around?

@Steve, where is your dem data from? There seem to be a lot of versions of even the same resolution data out there, I wonder if what I have used is not compatible for some reason. If I can successfully replicate what you have done, that would be a big step forward from where I am.

for some reason I cant d/l the srtm30 or srtm3 data . Getting a 404 error.

thanks Ted that may be useful.

Ever check out the GM link to 1 arc second data? May be a little rich for cfs3

Yeah, I downloaded some 1 arc sec data too. I agree it is probably too much to actually look good in CFS3. I think 3 arc sec is the sweet spot if it can be made to work.

[sdsbolt]

yeah 3 arc seconds data looks great

unfortunately I have reached the max # of .bil exports I'm allowed on the trial version of GM . Wasn't aware of that hard cap.

Bummer!

Were you able to successfully convert anything other than Gtopo30?

I have an older copy of GM from 2008, I think. Will see if I can get it to work again. I use Google Earth to map out two areas. I now need to be sure the areas are square for CFS3, 1835 km per side. Once that is done and I can fire up GM...well see. If you have suggestions as to placement or area to be covered let me know.
