PREAMBLE
By the publication
of Microsoft Autogen SDK (Software Development kit), learned how the 3D recognition
applied to the textures of FS2004, that allows to show in all FS world buildings and
trees, positioned in way corresponding to the below texture. In the SDK is present a
little but efficient and simple program: his name is Annotator. This program allows to
insert on the textures buildings and trees, and gives also the possibility to modify in a
permanent way the textures default ones of FS2004. Substantially every texture
(with
seasonal designation) disposes of an autonomous, valid file for all the
seasons, with
extent *.agn. Textures are then assembled in classes, as more ahead taken back in the
card: Every rural class disposes of sects textures, multiplied for 4 or 5
seasons. Winter
indeed is represented with or without snow depending on latitude and
altitude.
AUTOGENIUS2004 arranges to modify the three-dimensional textures in
FS2004, adding buildings and trees in a solid way, there where they are too
thin.
AUTOGENIUS2004 naturally recalls to the European landscape, and the total result is really
valid, and it increases particularly the sensation to "be" us in the VFR
flight.Limiting us to italian territories, the combined effect of AUTOGENIUS2004
and Italy
Landpack is really incredible. After you will have tried it you will want to only do VFR
flights!

The following table reports the list of FS2004 generic terrain
textures modified by AUTOGENIUS2004, through Annotator.

INSTALLATION
The
files in the package AUTOGENIUS2004 replaces files *.agn default files in
FS2004, therefore
doing a backup before proceeding with installation is a good rule. Backup all
*.agn files
in the folder ..\FS2004\scenery\world\texture.
Only
having made the backup, later install the files containing in the package
AUTOGENIUS2004 in
..\FS2004\scenery\world\texture.
It is
sufficient to show the folder where you installed FS2004, the files already dispose of the
correct partition.Must not be done some modification in the library (Scenery
library.)In
the Configuration Options I suggest instead (if one disposes of a sufficiently powerful
computer) to select autogen at max.

FRAME RATE
Using AUTOGENIUS2004
does not involve
substantial decreases of fluidity in the background. The density given by
AUTOGENIUS2004 objects can however be orderly through the configuration of
FS2004, menu, slider autogen.
COMPATIBILITY
AUTOGENIUS2004 is completely compatible with Italy
Landpack, of wich I suggests
the use in the virtual flight on Italian territory.
AUTOGENIUS2004 was not instead tried with
the Arvidssons Textures or with other commercial textures, but only with the default
ones in FS2004.
