I found a bug in v1.0 in the xyz type of service. Specifically the bug is apparent when the g***** service protocol version 41 uses z=18 for
the highest resolution and z=17 for the next-to-highest, whilst the URL sent from FSET is using z=1.
Example:
Use the execellent maptiler http://www.maptiler.org/google-maps-coor...rojection/ applet to confirm the xyz values of a
particular lat and long.
If you use this manual URL check
http://khm2.******.***/kh/v=41&x=71149&s=&y=37708&z=17&s=Galileo (You get a shopping mall)
But if you enter in Lat N 60,29',2" and Lon E 15,25',5" with a service section like this in the INI (hostname withheld like
everybody else
does):
[Service4]
ServiceCodeing = xyz
ServiceUrl = http://khm2.******.***/kh/v=41&%s&s=Galileo
and watch the URL as Service4 tries to fetch at resolution 1 it will actually use z=1 !
which looks like this:
http://khm2.******.***/kh/v=41&x=71149&s=&y=37708&z=1&s=Galileo (a picture of Northern Europe and Asia)
So to fix FSET support of the g***** service there needs to be a bug fixed, also notice the empty &s in the URL string. I do not have the
skills to fix this (I think, but I've downloaded the sources and will give it a go).
EDIT: OMG! I did it! Well actually the author of FSET had already done it in his code, it was there all the time and I just had to enable it
using TileCodeingScript.cs. I have never seen such an extensible, and easy to change, piece of software!! Kudos to the author of this
phenomenal program. I'll buy you a beer anytime. So, as I have now fixed GoogleMaps I am not going to waste it by attaching the correct
Service section in this thread, please PM me if you want/need GoogelMaps highres photoscenery in FSX.
Cheers
