landscapes features listing in download section?

Post by lordauriel » Mon Mar 09, 2020 12:20 pm

Greetings,

What do you think about the idea to add a feature to condor club landscape download pages that states which of the Condor2 features are available for that specific landscape so users can see what they are getting. Please don't get me wrong here but I think this would help to bring more transparency and even an incentive to raise the overall quality of sceneries. At least state the existence of an albedo map, the rest is kind of secondary

Suggestion:

Forest map YES/NO?
Thermal / Albedo Map YES/NO?
Texture Resolution 4k/8k ?
Realtime Shading: YES/NO?

Hi lordauriel,

Yes, these data are the fundamental of Condor sceneries but:
- There are 2 kinds of forest maps, deciduous and coniferous.
- 8 172 true pixels for Terragen tiles: some landscapes have 8172 pixels resolutions with satellite photo with 4096 pixels true resolution. And some patches (16 per Teragen tiles) with higher resolutions.

and you forget:
- 30 m STRM data
- Lakes and Rivers with WaterAlpha (WaterAlpha works fine with 1 pixels resolution "2.8 m" for brooks).
