GMaps calibration for FS9 (off by 50m)
Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 7:21 pm
Good day,
I recently restarted working with SBuilder for FS9 after almost a year hiatus.
Back then I didn't know the GMaps tool existed and I think it is wonderful.
However, I am having a little problem. The image I get from GMaps tool is almost correct but it is not perfect, for example, i can place the plane at one end of the runway and will display correctly over the map but if I move it to the other end of the runway it will be off the runway in the map by some 50 meters.
I've tried many different ways and programs to get and crop the image but it still is off by some meters. It is not only off but also distorted because the offset gets bigger with distance.
Is the GMap tool not giving accurate results anymore? What can I change? Is there other method to get accurate calibrated reference maps?
Thank you!
