Question Custom Planet Elevation Maps for Orbiter 2016?

[Luke Reichelt]

Congrats, looks pretty good for a first try. Are all the levels working?

There is a scaling parameter in Tilesplitter, not sure how it works though. Looks like it needs to be scaled down by 0.5 or 0.25, or even more. If the scale parameter doesn't help just go for -500 to +500 or even less.
The estimates are based on mean radius, not sure how that exactly translates into Orbiter but they should still be good starting points, at least to get the overall range of elevation.

Unfortunately, it seems I'm getting the exact same results regardless of the elevation settings.

Elev_mod re-activates after every import, this is for safety
You have to input Emin/Emax before importing

Are you exporting to the Elev_mod folder?
Did you input Emin/Emax before importing?

Did you input Emin/Emax before importing?

No, I didn't.

I'm assuming I have to export the map to the elev_mod folder for the scaling parameter to work (or something like that)?

No, just be aware of which folder is being exported to, as it's a complete world generation and not a modification it can go straight into the Elev folder.
I don't think you need the scaling (I think that might just be for specific modifications), try the original estimates again, just make sure to input the values before import.
