Hello,
My name is Luca, I'm a flight sim enthusiast with development experience for x-plane and fs (although I haven't touched fs since fs2004).
First of all thank you for fs earth tiles, it seems like a very handy cool program!
I've got a question for you, but first a little background of what I'm doing and what I'm trying to achieve:
I created 130Gb of photoreal sceneries for x-plane (that is italy and the UK) using g2xpl (a program made by somebody else that downloads tiles from
virtual earth and google map services).
The resulting sceneries comprehend 100.000+ .dds tiles and the related .dsf and .ter x-plane scenery. .ter files are textfiles with latlong
coordinates and tile filename for each tile.
I was toying with the idea of re-creating the same sceneries for FSX and was hoping I could use my .dds tiles instead of re-downloading 130Gb :-)
Here's the question:
Considering that I can write python programs and that I know, of each tile, the latlong coordinates as well as northing eastings, do you feel it would
be doable to somewhat batch-run FS earth tiles and create the FS scenery files required to map my tiles?
Thanks for your help!
Luca
