Photorealistic Scenery with Maps2Bgl?

Featured Replies

I would like to make some of the Greek islands as fotorealisk scenery. I heard about the program MAps2Bgl which could fetch "tiles" files off from Google Earth, process them and then provide photo-realistic scenery - nice VFR flight in 2000 fts height.I've tried the program but do not think it works as intended. When defining an area (a polygon) into Google Earth and save it as a KML file you can download this KML file into Maps2Bgl. But it is a bit random on success Maps2Bgl to retrieve the relevant tiles down. Sometimes no tiles are downloaded at all, other times there will not be enough.Are there any of you developers who have experience with the program and maybe can make a few clarifying comments to solve my problem?

Could be because google is very protective of it's material and as such they block access to certain programs/users. It's the same with Sbuilder and the google tile server.

Best, Michael

Hello:It also helps to periodically change one's IP address (on ISP accounts with dynamically assigned IP addresses) to minimize the likelihood of being "profiled" by the imagery tile servers as discussed here: :( http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthrea...0943&page=2Hope this helps ! :( GaryGB
