if you have files locally that do not exist on the server, then they will be removed. if you are within range and files exist on the server, they will be downloaded for use. AFAIK, they won't be 'screwed up' but they may cause the missing files to be downloaded again if one gets too close to their location. dirindex since the directories are, technically, not empty. and yes, i know this script cannot remove directories that do only contain. i would hope only the ones needed are created and not a bunch of empty ones containing only. i guess one could test this pretty easily by creating a new testing terrasync directory for FG and TerraMaster to use and then flying in a limited area to see what directories and files are created/downloaded. dirindex files in them? if so, then i guess we could leave them alone but it doesn't really matter since they don't consume that much space, really. dirindex files and see the referenced directories do not exist. the question, then, is what does FG and/or TerraMaster do when they process the. just delete them, remove the directory, and go to the next one. if the directory hasn't been modified in X days, it doesn't matter about the files inside it. While writing this response, i had a thought that maybe detecting the -mtime of only the directories should work, too. #if this is NOT a test, add the -delete command with -print to log everything being removed The meat of my 'remove empty files and directories' (bash) script follows.Ĭode: Select all #work only inside these six terrasync directoriesįor foo in Buildings Details Objects Pylons Roads TerrainĬMD='find $HOME/myflightgear/TSScenery/$foo -empty -type $bar' the script is very similar to what is being asked here about removing files/tile directories that are older than X days. In any case, while i was going through all of that, i decided to whip up a script to remove empty directories because i didn't want anything left of 17S that was not on actual terrain. i do remember that that's when the txz files were introduced.

the last release of TM was back in 2021 during the time that the OSM stuff was being added and figured out how to store and update. i'm thinking that TM isn't fully updated to the current scenery methodology. dirindex file shows hashes and file sizes (i think) for txz files which do not exist. i do still find some top level eXXXnXX directories with only. does the existence of the deepest tile directory cause it or must there also be an. Now, i'm not sure how TM decides to draw a colored frame around the tiles. low and behold that entire line had returned! i was quite surprised.

when i completed the full circuit, i exited FG, fired up TerraMaster, and took another look. either one would keep me at 16.5S all the way around the Earth. then i proceeded to fly around the world at 90True or 270True. To test this, i removed all of the ones at this latitude that were in the ocean because there can't be islands or objects all the way around the Earth in this one specific latitude, right? once they were removed, i exited TerraMaster, fired up FG with the UFO, and spawned in at some longitude and 16.5S latitude. i kind of remembered seeing it some years back and thought it might have been a bug that's since been fixed and TS cleaned up. one of the first things i noticed was a band completely around the Earth at 17S latitude.

i installed TerraMaster the other day because i was helping someone and i also wanted to see how my almost full load of terrasync looked and update it since it has been a couple of years. I had to laugh when i saw this pop up in today's run through the forum. i mention these specifically because some tools cannot see dotted files without specific instructions. if a directory is being wiped clean, these files need to go, too, so the directory is really empty and can be removed. note that there will be dotted files in each directory, too.dirhash and. the last step would be to remove any empty directories. If i were to work up some external 'remove terrasync tiles older than X days' script, i would make a list of files in specific terrasync directories (eg: do NOT dig into the Airports and Models directories) that meet the criteria, work out which tile directory they are in, and then remove all the files in that directory. like do not delete the three files in the base of TerraSync. That could work but depending on where you run it, there are some things you do not want to delete, though.
