• 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.

FSXA Photoreal tile stitching in PS CS5

Hello all,
I have been using Nearmap's Hypertiles program and I recently have downloaded some aerial imagery for a airstrip I am doing. I downloaded it at 7 centimetres per pixel but Hypertiles splits up the selected area into individual tiles because of the file size. Thus, stitching of the tiles is required. Someone recommended that I use the "Photomerge" feature in photoshop which can stitch the tiles together but it stitches them together as a panorama which is not right because of my airstrip's magnetic orientation. How would I be able to stitch them together as a large rectangle-shaped image, not a panorama.

Regards,
Frank
 
The tiles that hypertiles produces are orthogonally rectified.

If you have used Geodetic WGS84 they will be ready to use in FSX.

Given that the geographic information is in them, it makes sense to use that to "stitch" them ... rather than using Photoshop.

If you are not on a "limited' budget GlobalMapper will do this for you (automatically, and so easily it would make you cry to do it any other way)> it does cost "pretty good" though.

... or you can use FWtools for free (but being a numpty I haven't bothered figuring out how to do this)

I had a feeling there was another GUI for FWtools that might assist with this sort of thing too. Someone may remember what that was.
