• 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.

SbuilderX Tile Servers

Hi,

I've noticed that in SbuilderX version 3.15, the Nokia satellite imagery does not show up in the list. Is there a reason for that? It was in the list in previous versions. So, will it be okay to use, or have more than one version of SbulderX installed so that one can choose one or the other? Or will this cause conflicts?

Ken.
 
Hi Ken:

NOKIA had previously been the provider of aerial imagery for Yahoo, and the "Nokia Satellite" tile server in the SBuilderX pick-list... both of which IIRC no longer are online.

Since restructured under the "Here.com" brand, NOKIA D/B/A Here.com continued to supply Bing Maps / MS VirtualEarth / ESRI ArcGIS World Imagery using satellite imagery licensed from Digital Globe in many world areas.

But, Here.com has since changed ownership and the SBuilderX tileserver DLL no longer works.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_(company)

FYI: Legacy 'GoogleSatellite', Nokia, and Yahoo tile servers are all deprecated now. :pushpin:


Although NOKIA D/B/A Here.com were reportedly one of the largest licensors of Digital Globe imagery, now that both Google and ESRI ArcGIS World Imagery utilize extensive areas of licensed Digital Globe imagery, one likely has extents of coverage through their SBuilderX tileservers ...that effectively replaces anything Nokia once provided. ;)
