• 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.

Bing and Google maps difference - how to rectify?

I am creating an aerial for my airport. I want to use Google maps data as it is most up to date. I am using SAS Planet and Nool's toolkit. The issue is that it looks like the Google image is displaced compared to Bing image that the sim uses. In SAS-Planet I put three placemarks associated with the runway threshold corner referring to three different world maps providers (Bing, Yandex and Google). It looks like this:

So basically, when using Google image in-sim with exactly the same coordinates of the bounding box in the SAS-Planet the runway and everything else becomes displaced like this:

Now I am trying to figure out how to "move" the whole Google aerial, so it matches the scenery runway which was created matching the in-sim Bing representation. I tried calculating the difference in coordinates in each of the Bing and Google runway threshold corners and replacing the coordinates in the kml while creating the aerial, but that does not seem to work as it effectively just "moves" the bounding box, but the image stays where it was. I think I need to somehow account for moving the bounding box BEFORE creating the tiles and then use other coordinates in the kml, or maybe do something to the png tiles' filenames (quadkeys) but can't for the life of me figure out how to do that 😂. If anyone encountered this and successfully resolved, could you please point me in the right direction? Thanks!
