FS Earth Tiles is a Flightsimulator-Tool I started to develop for me and you inspired by the cool Tile proxy project helping you to get photo
textures as static addon scenery into the Flightsimulator by accessing earth services.
FS Earth Tiles is freeware.
IMPORTANT!
All earth services have copyright on their material! That means you may not distribute sceneries you create that includes such material.
You are also not really allowed to download such material and store and use it in FS or elswhere without the permission of the services.
ATTENTION!
Please note that FS Earth Tiles development with me als author will end with the release v1.0
The actual FS Earth Tiles Version is: Pre v0.99 and fully functional.
This version will become the Final Release v1.0 in one, maximum in two weeks (end of july)
With the release v1.0 I will stop support and development.
There is a planing ongoing by someone here to start a project on sourceforge for further development of FSET.
A link to that project will be posted here as soon as the project is ready.

FS Earth Tiles development started in this thread here:
http://www.fspassengers.com/forum/showth...?tid=11206
The way to access earth services is really not complicated thought I had never figured out how without seeing a Tile proxy config file
before. The coordinate transformation to tile codeing I figured out myself by doing some research on the internet and a try and error
approach. I learned a lot by doing this (I didn't know there are so many possibilities projections to map the earth!) what was also a
reason for me starting to program this.
The coordinate transformation seems to be a standard transformation known well by people in the mapping business. Except one value
that I narrowed with testing the borders and turned out to be PI, I found every information required for it on the internet. So I don't think I
will tell any secrets if I put the information all together and give it further. It's all already there on the net.
As I see it Tile Proxy triggered a new and cool way althought not really that legal (I guess) to improve the Flightsim look by accessing the
online earth services and I think Microsoft should start to spend thoughts about if they not better offer this oportunity for the flightsimulator
by themself since they have/own everything they need to do it!!
I am going to post a large number of pictures (40) now...
