April 9, 201610 yr Hi How can i know about tile coordinates numbers for example of ""Mashhad"" City or Hashemi Nejad Int airport "" OIMM ""at Iran ? i need the numbers for make a tile with Ortho14Xp many thanks last screen shots
April 10, 201610 yr Moderator This airport is at 36°14′06″N 59°38′27″E (From Wikipedia). You then find the south east coordinate of the tile which is (36, +59), so your tile number is 36+059. Use negative numbers for East, positive for West, negative for South Also, you can try going here http://zonephoto.x-plane.fr/Cartes.php and enabling the Graticule. This will show you the globe in grids and you can look up the X,Y coordinate for each tile.

April 10, 201610 yr These numbers really make me dizzy. This is what i do , e.g. Goose Bay Alaska search it in google maps or any other map and see the area location and the coordinates and then goto viewfinderpanorama select that tile, sometimes I do make a mistake and select the wrong tile.

Hi guys! Those numbers made me dizzy too, so I have implemented new feature into VfrFlight (http://vfrflight.org). If you select 'Map Grid Layer' (1), and check 'Info under cursor' (2), you would get the name of HGT file that you need to use, and name of ZIP archive with that file that needs to be downloaded (from http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/Coverage%20map%20viewfinderpanoramas_org3.htm). Just point cursor at any place to read info. Enjoy Lukasz Lukasz Kulasek i7-8700k, RTX 2080 TI, 32 GB RAM, ASUS TUF Z370-PRO Gaming, Oculus Rift CV1

April 14, 201610 yr Hi lukasz, thank you very much for the information! I have been playing with ortho myself and created some stunning tiles. The coordinates were a little confusing but your suggestion will be very helpfull.
