• 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.

MSFS 3D satellite imagery - capture using RenderDoc - solved

I am trying to download (from maps.google) an area using RendecDoc and Google Chrome as per instructions I have found in at least 2 different YouTube video tutorials.
The area I capture is correctly displayed in the RenderDoc 'window' which I save (as an rdc file) however when I open that rdc file in Blender it displays only a very small part of that area, in fact only one of the buildings. I have 'max blocks' set to -1 (ie all blocks). So it appears to me that REnderDoc is not saving all that it displays.
Any ideas?

[added later]
After tearing the last of my head hairs out I came across another Youtube video tutorial which uses a slightly different work flow (which includes capturing the 3D satellite imagery from maps.google using the PRTSCN key instead of the 'capture button' in Renderdoc) which I followed and obtained an .rdc file which contains everything.
FYI the video tutorial is at Importing Actual 3D Models From Google Maps
