Räyskälä WGC 2014 landscape : Patch for v1.1 available!

[Kekelekou]

In the meantime, the ground polys for Oripää EFOP, Nummela EFNU and Lahti-Vesivehmaa EFLA (not EFVM) are completed.
All three airfields feature dual runways.

Hello!

Recycling the 3Ds from Räyskälä and Hyvinkää has proven much quicker than anticipated, so the 3D modelling is done.
A few objects have been added too, so here are the final results for each of the 3 improved airfields :

Nummela :



Vesivehmaa :



Oripää :



So expect the package to be released on CondorClub soon.

Hello!

Following mikakoski's request to get rid of thermals over the Finnish lakes, I have put the landscape back on the workbench.
I was pretty sure that the original thermal map was OK regarding pure black for water bodies, but I have exported a new map from QGIS, rechecked the #000000 pure black for water, but I am getting this over the lake South of Eura EFEU right after the flight is started :



It really doesn't make any sense, so I'd be really glad if someone could point le toward what I do wrong, obviously.
I have attached the flight plan in case it might be of any help.

The thermal map looks like this (just converted to JPG, no alteration of the grayscale) :

How do you import the thermal maps? I use two different methods, the import via Condor_Tiles, and the other one with the ThermalMap.bmp in the working folder. Both looking good with black color at the water

The ThermalMap.bmp is 6144 x 6400 pixel on a 24 x 25 tiles landscape

Hallo Peter!
I am quite jealous of your nice thermalless water.
I only use the Working/thermalmap.bmp import with the LandscapeEditor.
I am adamant the lake near Eura is pure black on the bmp file.

And here the configuration of my bmp, maybe there is a difference

There is nothing wrong with your original thermal map, the thermals you can see are only drifting from the nearby shores.
If you test it with no wind, you'll notice that the lakes do not generate thermals:

But there is no killing effect of cold water on the drifting thermals on Condor.

Merci dgtfer for your reply. So the thermal map is to remain just like it is at the moment.
Hopefully Condor3 will bring improvements regarding how thermals behave over wate.
