Those of April was accompanied by a LoEarth.zip a file ( 140 mb) - of April - which contain levels from 1 to 9, the high resolution textures of April contain levels from 10 and 13 ( and the Canaveral of April - 10_08 - levels from 10 to 18 ) for its area .

Those of December comes with a LoEarth.zip a file ( 500 MB ) containing levels from 1 to 10, high resolution textures of December - including areas already present in April - containing levels from 11 to 13 ( and Canaveral of December levels from 11 to 19).

The textures added in December , mainly the South America, contain levels 11 to 13 for the area they cover.

Ok, thank you Dave.

These textures are SOMETHING ELSE!
The "water feature" really makes a big difference to the feel of the area...
Didn't realise how "wet" it is before.. (Cape)

THANK YOU Doctor !! Keep up your beautiful work please.

Well, how to start making my own high res tiles and elevations?
Where can I download their data from?
First, I would like to incorporate the highres surface tiles for other bases on Earth into the highres textures. I would like to know, how do I go about doing it?

HI Abloheet,

I have been trying to work that out as well. I used tileedit.exe located in 'orbiter_beta\Utils' and you will need Matlab MCR http://au.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr/ ver R2012a (7.17) 64bit installed for it to run.

I am wondering how you open/edit .elv files and how do you locate which part you want to edit from the files in the elev directory (which I assume you copy over into the elev_mod directory when you decide to edit). tileedit.exe is a tile viewer as it does not have any editing functions in it, but that is ok as long I can work out how to edit these files manually.

I would love to start making new bases in the new orbiter beta.

[Abloheet]

Me too!

If I get to know where to download elevation data from, I would get working on terrain for Venus, Mercury, etc.

I have already started using tileedit.exe

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I finally downloaded and extracted all the new Hi-res textures and I tested with Orbiter Beta rev.10 and graphical client D3D9 (for Rev.9). Exceptional Earth and the Moon, but Mars appears as a black hole !! I tried to re-download, install only the Lo-res textures, but nothing changes .. What can I do?

[jroly]

Try using some of the previous dx9 beta 2014 clients. The one released on 17th Sept worked for me.

Are you using D3D9 Beta 9? Because then it's a known issue. There's a Beta 10 out, which for some reason isn't on sourceforge, but it's in the dev thread.

Could the tiles containing northern Denmark, southern Norway and southern Sweden soon be processed? I would love to have the full Denmark in hi-res, since I only have southern Denmark in hi-res. Would be nice

It's on my to-do list. It may require a few modifications to my Landsat data-processing scripts, because at higher latitudes not all scenes are available: due to the larger overlaps, some of the paths can be omitted without gaps in the coverage. It shouldn't be a principal problem, just needs some rewriting and testing.

Thank you Martin, if you need a test person, just give me a wave

I've updated the download address in the first post now. Please try again.

I have been tracking down some texture issues. I am not exactly sure if I have the right set of textures. But there appear to be a night lights texture problem in Japan. Can some confirm that Texture /Earth/Mask/07/02/14.dds doesn't have night lights. However, specular mask seems to be Ok.

The same issue exists in:
07/01/14.dds
07/01/13.dds
07/04/13.dds
etc..

So far, It would seems that night lights are fine on level 8 and above. But many tiles on level 7 and below are not ok.
