Irrlicht Engine

I really appreciate the information. As of right now I'm opening the DEM files with MicroDEM and exporting them to GeoTIFF format in greyscale. That's what I was loading into Irrlicht after convrrting them to bmp and scaling them down some. I'll have to look at the documentation tonight for loadheig...

Quick reply as I'm away from my code. The dataset I was planning on using is the US National Elevation Dataset that you can download from the USGS seamless server website. Given that the raw file for each grid that you download is about 3100x4000 pixels in size I'll have to split each one up into lo...

I was able to get the terrain working, but still having issues with scale. I had exported the BMP using Pixelmator, and Irrlicht doesn't seem to like that. When I export it from Gimp it works. Interesting..

Still trying to work through having the mountains scale properly though.

Hello - I'm starting work on a flight simulator, and I've got a bit of a hangup in getting my terrain to match the scale and values of the real life equivalents. I generated a heightmap (http://db.tt/TQcs1CmP for the map itself) from the National Elevation Dataset, and would like to use it to genera...
