Does anyonre know if there's a current version of a tutorial for SBuilder "for idiots". I cant seem to get any satellite imagery to display within the program.What Im after is to add photo textures to a simple aerodrome.I have never used Sbuilder before and find the tutorial has quite a few holes hence the concepts are quite hard to grasp.

Hello Michael,Since I assume you refer to the tutorial I wrote, I am always interested in knowing what readers find difficult to understand, and would appreciate more details on the "holes" that you found.There are other tutorials for SBuilder although mine is perhaps the most complete.Perhaps you are having problems getting the Google Earth server to deliver image tiles? As it happens, Google has repeatedly sought methods to block third-party applications from accessing its Google Earth server and has finally succeeded, it seems. So, SBuilderX users will find great difficulty and should probably just use any of the other image servers available, such as Yahoo, Microsoft Bing Live Virtual Earth (or whatever they are calling it this month!), etc.Best regards.Luis

Hello LuisHmm.Seem's like there are are far more "holes" in my knowledge than in your tutorial.I did claim that I was an Idiot... :( I have been able to access sat images via Manifold but as you stated... only the flavour of the month i.e. Virtual Earth. Using imagery from another provider has worked and I am now working my way through your tutorial.Thankyou for your response .Kind Regards MichaelRegards
