It comes with the download. I had problems at first, but a week into it...smooth as glass, from thereon-out. I have adopted a 'burnt-in' tile recipe of zl17 (zoom factor),/19 (zoom factor for around airports and airfield properties)/and the number X, or in my case 2, meaning a zl19 zoom factor 2 km's out from all the airports and airfields. All my shots have this recipe behind the tile cooking... :) You can set up that recipe, via the Ortho4XP.cfg file, also within the root folder directory.

I heard Bing was the better one Richard I use BI(ng) as my default, and also, use BI if Ortho4XP can't find data on any other server, then it will sniff BI for the date and then continue on with whatever other source I have in the letter box window. You can set this up in the .cfg file.
July 28, 20178 yr Have been experimenting and got some great results :) I know you can create greater zoom levels around all airports but is the following possible ... Say I have created a series of tiles at ZL 16 but I only want 1 airport to have a ZL 19. Can you load a tile that has already been created and go back and select the said airport and then manually create a custom zoom around the perimeter? I would like to create tiles for the whole of the UK at ZL 16 and then manually pick the 4 or 5 airports I fly in and out of to increase the detail. My thinking here is that doing it this way would hopefully create smaller files Richard i7-12700K | Noctua NH-D15S Black Version | MSI Pro Z690 - A | 32 GB DDR4 3600 | Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 | 1TB WD Blue NMVe (MSFS 2020) | 500 GB WD Black Gen 4 NVMe | 4TB WD Black Conventional | Fractal Design Torrent Case | Seasonic 1000W Gold Plus PSU | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Honeycomb Throttle | Airbus Side Stick | Virpil Rudder Pedals | Sony X90K 55 Inch TV |
