• 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 all
i have some questions about the photoreals
i am working in a small airport of Peru country and i want to sell it but my airport have bing imagery
can i sell my airport with bing imagery?
if i can't sell it with the satellital imagery , where i can get free satellital imagery of Peru?
i see in SimMarket strore some airports of a small developers with google imagery especially south american airports

how did they get a license from Google? or they use it without licence ?

sorry for my level of english i have a bad score in my english class
 
Usually you are not allowed to use any satellite imagery in a commercial project without the permission of the company.
For Freeware you may use some imagery (Google or Bing), but only small parts ("fair use").
You may ask Bing if you might use their imagery in such a project, but to be honest, i doubt that they will permit that to you. I never had luck, even for freeware projects...

Normally, you have to buy satellite images, i.e. from airbus (https://www.intelligence-airbusds.com/) or digitalglobe (https://www.digitalglobe.com/)
 
Or you can check if the government provides any open data. More and more countries do so, but I'm not sure Peru does.
 
Which airport are you working on?
 
Hi,

I found some open GIS data for Peru, like WMS services, but they do not contain imagery for that region.
 
Hi,

I think the imagery there is just background data for reference, to show the government GIS data on top. You would have to check at ESRI what sources they used and if they are open. But most likely it's not free....
