Creating custom aerial cgl file using QGIS and MSFS SDK

[Rafal Wator]

Hi,

I used to create airports in P3D. After few years I`d like to start again with MSFS scenery. It is completly different then P3D and I`d like to start from scratch.
What I`d like to do first is creating custom aerial satellite imagery for an airport. I know I need Qgis tools and some basic SDK knowledge.
I need help and like to ask where and how to start. I couldn`t find any specific tutorial how to make CGL file. If there is any tutorial in pdf or yt link
please let me know. Also any other help is welcomed

Regards
Rafal W

Of course
When compiled (build all) you will obtain the .cgl (as well as all the other files to make the Package work)

So I need to make project in SDK MSFS and add this. This guy took it from google earth. How can I take high resolution imagery using QGIS ? I know it`s possible. I`d like to use Bing satellite imagery then rework it in PS and compile. If I download imagery google ( or Bing if possible ) it will also cut it into png files and I need to add it to project ? I will have to add reworked imagery into QGIS I quess. I don`t know if there is other tutorial how to download via QGIS and process it into CGL using SDK. I don`t know to much so I will have to make it step by step untill CGL ready to go.
