Scenery:Texmapper.cfg File

This is the main configuration file for the texture map generator. It is very similar to the terrain config file and some of the parameters are the same.

Common section

This is where we define the area of the world covered by this scenery block. You need to either specify the number of tiles, a tile size and a start point, or alternatively the start/end points of the area. In this example we have chosen tile size and start point.

The tile size is given in meters in north- and east direction.

tile_size_n = 3648
tile_size_e = 3648

Now, since the tiles are parallell with the longitude lines, the width varies over the tile. This means that the tile_size_e parameter is only correct at the given reference latiude, ref_lat.

ref_lat = 50

In this case, the tile width is correct at 50 degrees latitude. Further north, the tile will be narrower, further south the tile will be wider.
