Terrain data does not show #22

Have followed terrain instructions but terrain will not display. CustomHeightmapList.xml is shown below (VTOL terrain data is the bottom entry): https://pastebin.com/rQgUz9nb

Hi, could you provide your player log and what map you were testing on?

Bumping this as I have the same issue. I did all the steps as listed but I still only see the default terrains listed (shown below). This is my first time using TacView so it's possible this is user error on my part.

Actually I think the terrain is importing properly, but the offset is off. This is a zoomed out version of the mission 'Counter-Bomber' for the F45, the way it's unnaturally cut-out confirms that this is definitely artificial terrain.

However, there's still an issue as I'm occasionally flying through terrain. This is me landing at the FARP on the same mission.

Some kind of offset issue?

nebriv commented 2 years ago

Yeah this sounds about right. I just randomly guessed on a terrain offset. You can edit the XML to find a better fit.

These are the values I went with: altFactor = 0.04f; altOffset = -235f;

Yep - annoyingly theres no way to just import the vtol heightmaps. Tacview wants to exclusively use the world, and then you can add overlays on top of it. So I've basically just shoved a heightmap into the middle of the ocean.
