Title: DEM Directory different from Map Directory
Post by: Offsides on March 28, 2011, 05:26:36 PM

Under Options you can have DEM data in a different directory than the maps. 
 
1.  Are there occasions when you would want to have DEM data in a different place?
2.  Since there doesn't seem to be separate DEM files, is DEM data stored within a Map[n].dat file?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

The DEM directory is only used if you want to manually download and use your own DEM files.  It's kind of a holdover from before TF could download it's own elevation data.

So, to #2, the auto-downloaded DEM data goes into the Map[n].dat structure, as you guessed.

Hope that answers your questions.

Scott,

Ok, I think I've got it.  Does this mean that, since we don't manually download DEM data any more, it doesn't matter what the DEM data path is set to(?)

Thanks,
Bill

Correct, yep.
