photoscenary's Introduction

Photoscenary

Programs to generate and manipulate photoscenaries for FGFS.

The program is written entirely in JULIA and therefore requires JULIA to be installed on your system. It is a command line program and currently has no GUI.

A list of changes / history can be found in Versions.md.

Quick guide

Elaborate instructions in a complete manual can be found at the FlightGear Wiki.

The process of getting photoscenery is simple:

Install the toolchain
Use the tool to download photoscenery tiles in the correct format
Tell FlightGear to use those downloaded tiles

Installation

If you use Linux, chances are good your distribution already provides packages. Otherwise, install manually:

Install julia (version <=1.6 needed): https://julialang.org/downloads/
Install ImageMagick: https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php
Install photoscenary.jl (clone this repo, or download the zipfile)

Usage

julia photoscenary.jl -h (or --help) will print version and usage information.
julia photoscenary.jl --version will print version and perform checks on needed programs.

Basic call

Running julia photoscenary.jl without arguments will run the program with the last commands.
They are read from the args.txt file in the base directory.

Simple example using coordinates

The program, for basic example, you can run it with this command:

julia -t 4 photoscenary.jl -p /home/user/photoscenery/Orthophotos --lat 45.66 --lon 9.7 -r 15 -s 3

where:

-p      the path of photoscenery
--lat   the latitude of the central location of the area
--lon   the longitude of the central location of the area
-r      the radius of the area to be covered with the photoscenary
-s      Max size of image in pixels 0->512 1->1024 2->2048 3->4096 4->8192 5->16384 6->32768

Simple example using Airport ID

You may also download around a airport using its ICAO code (-i <ICAO>): julia -t 4 photoscenary.jl -p /home/user/photoscenery/Orthophotos -i LIMJ -r 15 -s 3

Use SkyVector route

You can use a GPX route made by skyvector to download scenery along that path (--route <file.gpx>): julia -t 4 photoscenary.jl -p /home/user/photoscenery/Orthophotos --route https://wiki.flightgear.org/mySkyVectorRoute.gpx -r 15 -s 3

Using the tiles in FlightGear

To make FlightGear load the downloaded tiles, you need to tell it to:

In the FGFS launcher, add the photoscenery folder as you would with "normal" addon scenery. Just add the folder that you specified with the -p option as Addon-scenery (hint: it contains a sufolder named Orthophotos).
When FlightGear started, activate the option: Menu > View > Rendering Options > Satellite Photoscenery

Error to convert the file in dds format

Documentation enhancement

Move complete documentation over here.
I think it would be good to copy the documentation found in the flightgear wiki also here.
This way this tool here will be self-contained and versioned.
The FGFS wiki then could easily link here, if you want to avoid duplication.
The Readme.md here is a good place to also mention that julia photoscenary.jl -h and julia photoscenary.jl --help gives version and usage information

Stacktrace when running the script

I get the following stacktrace when I run the script:

$ julia photoscenary.jl -t 30 -s 5 -i loww -r 5
┌ Warning: Deprecated syntax `"begin" inside indexing expression` at /storage/ortho/photoscenary/photoscenary.jl:161.

All I did was installing julia via apt, cloning the repo and run it.

Airport list incomplete

The airport list is incomplete...

For example YBRM is missing

Names of folders

First of all thanks for this promising tool.

I am getting folders' names such as o-30n30 while I believe that FG expects w030n30.

Typo in repository name (edit: and code)

Should be photoscenery.

(Note I would generally stick to lower case for the first letter of the repository name, but that's a convention rather than a typo. :) )

Edit: I see this is throughout the code as well.

Julia throwing weird error

I have just installed Julia, then git cloned this repository, then run julia photoscenary.jl --help. Output is following:

fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.

julia --version gives

julia version 1.4.1

@everywhere not defined

I don't know if it's something serious, but when running julia photoscenary.jl for the first time, julia downloads and installs dependencies and at the end of this operation I get an error message:

ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: UndefVarError: @everywhere not defined
in expression starting at /home/romek/Downloaded/Apps/FlightGear/Photoscenary/photoscenary.jl:167
in expression starting at /home/romek/Downloaded/Apps/FlightGear/Photoscenary/photoscenary.jl:167

But however, after second run of the command e.g.: julia -t 12 photoscenary.jl -r 10 -s 3 -i BIVI the photoscenery seems to be generated correctly.

I checked for julia versions 1.6.7 and 1.9.2, with the ~/.julia directory cleared, for Windows 10 and Linux Mint, and this error always occurs.

Add a native GUI for easier inpuit to the actual program

A julia based gui would be cool:
julia photoscenary.jl --gui

It could gather the arguments in a graphical way and then invoke the main program; much like the FGFS --launcher does.

SkyVector route parsing not working

Today I tried to load the GPX export from SkyVector.
The route is: https://skyvector.com/?ll=49.82894740601564,7.846984875039195&chart=301&zoom=5&fpl=%20EDGX%204916N00839E%204920N00833E%204922N00824E%204930N00818E%204940N00801E%204947N00739E%204948N00728E%204944N00719E%204951N00655E%204951N00650E%204950N00648E%204951N00646E%20EDRT

Command: julia photoscenary.jl --route /data/EDRT.gpx -p /data/OrtoPhoto/test/ -s 4 --over 1 -r 10

The actiual Julia is 1.9.4 The current version is correct in order to obtain the best performances

Blank white pictures when using USGS

Hey @abassign,

When using --map 2 (USGS), I get blank images. Here is the full command I am doing: julia -t $(nproc) photoscenary.jl -s 4 --over 1 -i KBOS -p /home/newo/.fgfs/Scenery/Ortho --map 2.
