Hi Friends.I want to make a photorealistic scenery over hole norway for my fsx,but there is not a working service cover under 3pix for norway.Can anyone help me with finding a better service map.Thanks.Bing maps has a very good coverage but in fsearthtiles it gives no tiles under 4pix....

See if this one satisfies you:ServiceUrl = http://khm0.goo***.c...=t%s&n=404&v=86It is partially cloudy and not uniform, but gives 1m/pix.

Hi Sunay.It didn't work for me,but thanks anyway

So you tried v=86 and it didn't work, hımm.A method to find the version of the GE server in your region is:Use Internet Explorer (not another browser) and open google maps of the area you are interested, zoom in-out and change the region quickly and at that moment see the server info that appears very briefly on the bottom status bar, try to catch the V=xx version info and modify your FSET .inf file accordingly.

Hi sunay.In many days i've tried GE and bing maps to reach a usable maps download without any success.However i was successful to find a very good map service which works very good with the tileproxy program.The area i am most interested in is North of norway.Here is a working tileproxy.ini service:[service Example 5]### Norwegian Service ### 1-24-10cache_folder=D:\TILECACHETILEPROXY\cache.service5network_module=libnettilemodule_config="conn=20|rate=4.0|verbose=0|server=http://ts1*.webatlas.no|path=/qt_1881/%s.png?s=%v|quad=0123|balance=0123456|useragent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"map_version=1min_level=9max_level=19#level_mapping=9,10,11,12,14,14,15,16,17,18,19#(JRG changed 12-18-09)#level_mapping=10,11,14,14,14,15,17,18#level_mapping=8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,19 even more radius in HQ (12,13->14)color_hack=Nocolor_level=0bulk_extend=100Is it possible to use such a service map in fsearthtiles?How can i do it?Thanks

Just did that, but no v=.. to be seen.Any other solutions to get G..gle to work with FSET ?And doesn't the script need to be adjusted ?

Try this one:

[serviceX]ServiceCodeing   = qrtsServiceUrl   	= http://khm0.google.com/kh?t=t%s&n=404&v=69ServerVariations = khm0,khm1,khm2,khm3

(Change X to whatever number this service will be in the FSET config file...)I have tried it for Sweden and it does load the area I'm interested in. The problem is that I don't seem to get ALL the tiles I want (big chunks missing when I try it in FS2004). Maybe I am doing something wrong since I'm fairly new to this...You also need to modify the 'TileCodeingScript.cs' file to retrieve the maps from Google. My file looks like this (after a tip I found in a french forum):

You also need to allow for CSharpScripts in the FSET .ini file: find the line 'UseCSharpScrips' and make sure it says 'yes'...Hope this was to some help! Now I just have to figure out why I'm always getting a bunch of grey areas among the perfectly rendered tiles in FS2004...EDIT: Forgot to mention - if you get 'can not access...' errors, try pressing the WWW-button in FSET. For some reason this makes the maps load...

Solved my "grey tile" problem. It turned out that the area I wanted to capture had lower resolution areas mixed with higher. Didn't notice that at first. When changing DL quality level to "2" the grey areas disappeared in FS2004. Also, I tried v=86 instead of v=69 as suggested above and both works just fine.

You can move that to 4 because that is the lowest LOD for FS04.

The FSET entry for the Norwegian server is: [service5]ServiceCodeing = 0123ServiceUrl = http://ts11.webatlas..._1881/%s.png?s1#Referer = http://a1.ortho.tiles.virtualearth.net #optional (older versions g=104, g=52)#UserAgent = Mozilla/4.0 #optional ...for what it's worth. Which is not a lot. The detail is good, but the colours are horrendous - large patches of unmatched colours, mostly oversaturated.
