Landscape on BTB

ebrich, so what does the Zaxxon method actually do? Does it create the surrounding terrain within BTB? I'm not 100% clear on how the interface works and how to install it. Thanks
Zaxxon method are a whole load of scripts that make a road and terrain (so far I've only used it for open tracks - rally stage etc) which can be loaded into a new BTB Pro project. From there you can use BTB to place objects, alter terrain and track etc etc. and export to rFactor1.
This is especially useful as it does the job which Sketchup used to do - putting altitude to the track and terrain.
This is the How TO manual which I made and follow each time. - http://www.mediafire.com/file/q4azqfp5dyoshyc/Zaxxon_Single_Track.docx/file
If your interested to know more I have a link to all the instructions, files and videos (in french but easy to follow).
It's a steep learning curve but theres folks that can help!

Thanks for this ebrich. So I have downloaded the BTB Zazzon Method folder, the SAS Planet Release 160606, and Google Earth. However, page 2 of the instructions you sent asks to install the 'Subversion-1.7.2-win32.msi' - I can't seem to find that file anywhere? Sorry for the dummy question
In the "matériel Spéciale" folder, which I think is inside my Zazzon Method folder you will find "Setup-Subversion-1.6.6.msi"
Link to "matériel Spéciale" folder - http://www.mediafire.com/file/hep2qx3vb2fwkbe/mat%C3%A9riel_Sp%C3%A9ciale.zip/file
There are no dummy questions as far as Zaxxon Method is concerned!

Yeah. great. Now you can down load a project folder that does work - http://www.mediafire.com/file/uy5m0aoaejg896s/Zaxxon_Method_Project_Folder.rar/file
Still don't know why we cannot get our scripts to do the same.
So replace your project folder with the above. And keep an original around for future use.
It's better to use a really small paths,from google earth, untill you get some confidence with the scripts.

Hello
I've been trying to make a track with data lifted from google earth using zaxxon's method and getting the simplified explanation from the file linked in the post above this. (thanks @ebrich) i've run into some problems in gmsh as can be seen in the screenshot attached. any pointers on how to fix the errors and proceed?
