Wrong file format

Post by reco » Mon Nov 08, 2010 7:21 pm

Hi
I just bought a Geotiff WGS-84 UTM32 orthophoto. The size is 260 MB as a tif file. When I try to import it into SbuilderX through add map from disk, I'll get an error message "The image has a wrong file format!".
Any advice?

Yes, change the file format! :lol:

Anything geared towards FSX must be in Geographic projection and WGS84 Datum. You're in UTM projection. There are tools that can handle the change in projection for you, pay and free.

Thank you for your answer. How do I get the information into the tif file?
