I have used Maps2Bgl, but I now use FSEarthTiles, it is a much better program. Depending on the servers, you can get 25cm/p resolution.

I looked at that George, but couldn't figure out where to download it from. there seems to be bits of it all over the web. Sourceforge looked like a good bet, but there are no downloads associated with the project *-)

I use the original version, but a guy at Avsim has produced an updated version. Check out the thread at:

Thanks very much George, I'll give this a go. I'm trying a small area around Belfast Docks with Maps2BGL at the moment as thus far, Google haven't cut me off. I was looking forward to the UK2000 City Airport, but it seems to be parked for now, and I wasn't sure if it would have included the cranes or not, so I'm going to have a play myself :lol: :agree:

Hi George (you'll be sorry you mentioned this to me :hide: ) It says I need resampleFSXSP2.exe which is all well and good, but I can't find a file by that name anywhere. there is a few mentions of it on some French forums, but my pigeon French just isn't good enough I'm afraid. Any ideas where I find this file?

Here is one I made earlier :-#

resampleFSXSP2.exe is the same as Resample from the FSX SP2 SDK.

You are a very bad man Mr. D. I'd just figured out that resampleFSXSP2.exe is resample.exe from the SDK renamed!

You've only just begun Ben. You now need to learn about blend and water-masks ;)
