BHawthorne Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I dont think its ready for release yet. So waiting is the first step. By ready, I assume you mean release details are not yet figured out between RRG and ED, not that the tools don't exist. I appreciate that you chimed in, but would be much more interested in a more concrete clarification from RRG as to what they have planned for EDGE SDK release. Your reply deflects my question, doesn't answer it. Edited October 7, 2013 by BHawthorne

I appreciate that you chimed in, but would be much more interested in an answer from RRG. By ready, the public release for the SDK is probably not ready and/or put together. Least from what I have seen from everything available that is what I can tell... remember, EDGE itself isnt out yet, and we were told the SDK would come after release of EDGE way back when... I dont know if that has changed.... Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
Fudge Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I'm pretty sure they mentioned they aim to get them out within a month of the Kickstarter ending. There are probably some legal things that need to be addressed and maybe some basic documentation so people don't get scared away instantly or spend lots of time working on something that can not work yet.
BHawthorne Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) That clarifies things a bit. Would be interested in RRG validating that premise though. I'm wanting to jump in and start working in the SDK soon so I can start organizing a terrain project I have in mind with a few people I know. Edited October 7, 2013 by BHawthorne

BHawthorne Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) My main curiosity is if I can make use of public domain DEM height data and GeoTIFF tiles as a template to work up new original terrain? If not, what are the baseline source import formats? Edited October 7, 2013 by BHawthorne
Darkwolf Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 What's going on with the SDK by the way ? It that RRG developping the SDK or ED ? I'm just wondering why it get released thru a 3rd party kickstarter and not via ED channel. :shifty: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site.

Although a lot of this speculation could be easily answered by RRG and ED. ;) Edited October 7, 2013 by BHawthorne
Altflieger Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Ilya talking about SDK. (Did anyone watch the updates?) Almazi was asking for aerial photos with geotiff data. Ilya mentions putting in surface data in video. He did mention elsewhere that the SDK is open source and that there were things they'd have to change before release. Ilya writing the guide for it. ETA end October?
Silver_Dragon Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 The problem is given that the SDK can be just going to be given only to those who have contributed to the Kickstarter (it is very possible that under conditions NDA), which only focuses on the WW2 field since the land is believe need to be checked by RRG and ED to be functional (the program that integrates the map under DCS: World and make funtional does not come with the SDK, or so said RRG).

IAF_Phantom Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I also am very excited about the SDK, this opens a lot of nice opportunities. I remember Ilya mentioned in an update that he would love the community to work together on a project. The main issus would be 3D objects to create for the map. How's about creating a repository of 3D building and other objects for DCS WW2 1944 for all to use freely (giving credit of course). But now all we need is to wait for the SDK to arrive. Is Would rather wait a little more and receive a more polished tool.

BHawthorne Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 I'm sure GeoTIFF will be useable. Very cool, DEM+GeoTIFF will be nice as a baseline to make original terrain. :thumbup:
BBQ Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Any more reading material anyone can suggest around these file formats - maybe some good tutorials or sites?
BBQ Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 If it's not already obvious -- I'm just learning about all of this (terrain creation, etc.) -- anyway, found this program and it looks interesting -- any opinions?
20thBG_Blackwolf Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) In the kickstarter update: We're also working on something really cool which, to my knowledge, has never been done before in a flight sim. The terrain can have multiple, potentially limitless, number of states that define virtually everything. What does that mean? It means we can have the early 1944 Normandy with Pointe du Hoc still intact. We can have the D-Day Normandy with bomb craters all over the coast, floodgates open, and some of the landing areas flooded. We can have the post-invasion Normandy with flooding receded and lots of new Allied airfields. How will that affect map makers with the SDK?

aaron886 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I'm sure GeoTIFF will be useable. Honestly, if you can get that far, it's not hard to turn GeoTIFF or SID imagery into another format.
Linx Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Any news about the SDK release date? Thx Yeah. Are we even getting it at all?
ED Team NineLine Posted January 21, 2014 ED Team Posted January 21, 2014 I wouldnt expect anything until ED gets farther into integration of EDGE into DCS World, thats my assumption anyways. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 well, according to luthier, the alpha version should be released in february :megalol: ....so i guess that EDGE integration into dcs world should be finished rather soon... but well, its the top communication and the commitment Luthier shows towards his customers and supporters why we still have to guess and assume so many things...:thumbup:

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 yeah possible, but that would be one sentence for him to post in this forum...well but he didnt even log in for months...so familiar...after his promises about communication with the backers and the community, his current behaviour is rude.
