• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

AerialWorkshop for MSFS 1

Download
Overview History
This is what I use to create aerial imagery tiles for MSFS. It works for both 2020 and 2024. It uses GTiff2Tiles, and tiles2bing (both included in the tools folder), and can be accessed by the provided batchfile. The imagery should be a geotiff in the provided image folder, and named test.tif for the provided batchfile to do it's job. Edit the batchfile if you are comfortable with that, to change the max zoom level or the name of the geotiff.

Included in the Image folder is a GeotiffCreator.exe It should be fairly easy to use. You can load a geotiff, and change it's coordinates, or grab the image in the display and move it around the earth or resize it by grabbing a corner of the image. You can save as lat-long (EPSG:4326) or as meters (ESPG:3857) (I like meters)
The source for the app is included. It was made in collaboration with Google's Gemini. I provide the ideas and needed corrections, Gemini writes the code. It's python, and the EXE is compiled to run as a Windows app... python installation not needed. You can load any image and georeference it, to save as a GeoTiff.

It's a good example of how AI can help create tools for our MSFS development journey.

Everything is included, and the batchfile processing works well in turning an image into MSFS aerial tiles suitable for an MSFS project.
