• 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.

A few suggestions:
1 - Contact the developer of the package over here: http://www.wideview.it/fsearth/

2 - Contact Google (since they provide the API interface to the EG server): https://www.google.com/intl/nl/earth/

3 - I recently spoke to a flightsim developer, who was forced to switch from Google to Bing,
since Google seems to have closed the access to the Google Earth tiles for 3rd party developers

Thanks for the clarification about FsEarthTiles.
If this software has it always worked correctly ask yourself
1 - What has changed on your computer?
- Operating system update?
- Presence of virus? malware?

2 - Did you alter (yourself) alter any settings on network components like:
- router,
- switch,
- personal firewall?
- anti-virus software?

3 - Are these (tile) servers up?/down? or taken out of service (for developers/ the general public)?

Thanks for the clarification about FsEarthTiles.
If this software has it always worked correctly ask yourself
1 - What has changed on your computer?
- Operating system update?
- Presence of virus? malware?

2 - Did you alter (yourself) alter any settings on network components like:
- router,
- switch,
- personal firewall?
- anti-virus software?

3 - Are these (tile) servers up?/down? or taken out of service (for developers/ the general public)?
- http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/
- https://isitdownorjust.me/
No sir none of the issues you suggested.

The GE server is being updated regularly. Yo may need to check the version (V=xxx) number for your area of interest, and update the FSEarthTiles.ini file data string accordingly.

I use Chrome to find the active "version" number, as below:

Finding Google Gmaps server for FSET.jpg


So for example for India the version number is 748 at the moment. And the updated data sting is:

[Service1] #Google 748
ServiceName = Google748
ServiceCodeing = qrts
ServiceUrl =http://khm0.google.com/kh?t=t%s&n=404&v=748
Referer = http://khm0.google.com
UserAgent = Mozilla/4.0
ServerVariations = khm0,khm1,khm2,khm3

I use FSET v1.03b by the way, it is slightly updated.

Please can you provide your ini file.
Also there are two types of links present. Khmogoogleapis.com and Khm1googleapis.com
Sir can u you show me a pic of your fsearthtile with your given configuration.

Khm0googleapis.com or Khm1googleapis.com doesn't matter, all have the same v=xxx info inside,
you just have to search and find the v=xxx version number there.

An additional note to be clear; you have to do the v=xxx search operation in Chrome described above, while in page:

The GE server is being updated regularly. Yo may need to check the version (V=xxx) number for your area of interest, and update the FSEarthTiles.ini file data string accordingly.

I use Chrome to find the active "version" number, as below:

So for example for India the version number is 748 at the moment. And the updated data sting is:

[Service1] #Google 748
ServiceName = Google748
ServiceCodeing = qrts
ServiceUrl =http://khm0.google.com/kh?t=t%s&n=404&v=748
Referer = http://khm0.google.com
UserAgent = Mozilla/4.0
ServerVariations = khm0,khm1,khm2,khm3

I use FSET v1.03b by the way, it is slightly updated.

Actually the method is not mine, I had previously dug the tip out from the forum (here is a gold mine!), we have to thank the actual Masters :)
I don’t know if there is fixed period for updates, I guess not. I ‘d say update period is between 3 months ÷ 1 year.
