• 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.

Google Maps - Add from Background/API Not Working

Hi guys,

I'm working on a personal photoscenery project and it's my first one in a while. I'm using the latest SbuilderX 3.15 but cannot get Google Background Maps to show up to try and make an image. I have requested, and added my Google API key in the SbuilderX .ini file but whenever I try to add from background I am told in a popup 'Could not get an image at Zoom=' regardless of how far I zoom in or where I place the position. I'm very confused as I used to make sceneries with SbuilderX all the time a few years back but never had this issue before, could it be something to do with an incorrect API key?

Just to clarify, the ArcGis map source works fine, so seems to be something I've done wrong related to the google server.

You know, I'm an idiot. THANKYOU. I don't know how I screwed that up so hard, something so simple I just got the ordering of what I was supposed to be doing wrong. Thanks!

But the Google map thing isn't working. It's not likely anyone would fix that. The code for SBuilderX has been public domain for quite some time... the message here is that almost everyone is moving to MSFS.
