• 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.

Hello; I've been using sbuilder or many years; now I have a great problem I can no more display background F1 is not active; thanks for help Pierre
 
Hi Pierre:

I can display a Zoom=8 background via <F1> in SBuilderX v3.15 in Windows 10 Pro x64 at the default installed coordinates in:

ArcGisImagery (Satellite)

Google_api3_Satellite

VirtualEarthSatellite (aka "BING")


BTW: I always start at a low level of Zoom and allow it to fill up before attempting to increase the Zoom.

Different tile servers max out at lower levels of Zoom than others, so if no image appears, start at Zoom=8 and work upwards.


Additionally, SBuilderX tile downloader may 'stall' in parts of the world where the tile server does not have imagery.


IIRC, this can also rarely happen if the SBuilderX\Tile s sub-folder chain gets corrupted.


I have only once had to use this helpful utility by Chris Britton (aka "Rotornut44") to solve such an issue:

Is there other info you can provide for testing to see what the cause of your issue may be ? :scratchch
