System Requirements

[sparks1]

Snake, ( or anyone else) can you tell me what
the recommended system requirements are for
running Dem2LF? I am working on my own theater as a learning exercise. L5 thru L1 go okay. L2 is used to load the E00 files, and generate the .tdf files. No problem. But when I go to the L0 transform...it takes hours!! By my calculation..over 62 hours. Am I doing something wrong, or is my P166 classic, 64megs ram with a 16meg Banshee card hopelessly outclassed?

I have 450mhz, 300+mb ram and for example when I did Saudi Arabia rivers/roads it took like whole night (left it running overnight, was done in the morning).

Actually to me it takes long time after clicking the Features and selecting e00 files, but transform is less than a minute if I recall.

So remember, when selecting/transformin ROAD/RIVER features... its best to leave it running overnight

Thanks for the word...essentially, yes my system is WAY maxed out...question tho, do I transform with features on all Lx's...or just l2? I've been doing juse L2...

Well I usually select one country at time, like renaming the features example:
eapoint.e00 -> saudi-airport.e00
rdline.e00 -> saudi-road.e00
etc, same to the next country too.

Then I'm just selecting all of those. However the new Spherical Converter v1.23 build 2 can load ALL of your feature files at once.

Yes you can do the terrain L2 file alone. But the L2 file alone wont be much use if you cant tile roads and citys etc
