Awesome stuff! What are the odds of getting google earth photogrammetry into this? =)

in the hotfix or new version, remove the autoupdate, and change it to OPTIONAL, or remove it completely, or give us the network info to block it on the firewall.

V.5.1.0 gives me CTD every time, so something is wrong. MSFS2020 continue to work, but your program closes after few minutes....

First CTD in MSFS in ages, with this addon in 5.1.0. I'll wait for a more stable one.

"not enough bandwidth to properly stream photogrammetry".....after stopping the mod, my MSFS causes CTDs when starting a flight.

what a luck I created a restore point prior to installation.

Be careful with this application. I've never had my antivirus pop up before and now it just detected dodgy internal files. I had seen previous comments that the app had suspicious behavior and thought it was a false positive, but it's actually true that the app is quite suspicious of privacy. Be very careful with it. Two different antivirus programs do an automatic removal of one of the files and in fact after that the application does not work anymore. It is also quite suspicious that the update is now automatic instead of redirecting you to this page

I don't like the fact that latest version 5.0.9 automatically updated to 5.1.0 Why has the option to update been taken away?

WildBillKelso 2 day(s) ago

Svara

Second that!

5.0.9 did run without any problems, whereas 5.1.0 creates the nasty "port 443 blocked" issue. Re-installing 5.0.9 doesn't help due to the inevitable auto-upgrade.

Mod not useable for me anymore, bummer...

Has the problem of "not enough bandwidth to properly stream photogrammetry" been solved?

I have been using it since the early stages and the above problem occurred and could not be solved and I had to reinstall msfs.

If you are not experiencing the problem, you are in luck. Maybe this mod chooses your connection environment.

Photogrammetry enabled in game when using this mod? Also is it compatible with Bijian 4 seasons mod?

TheMoose 2 day(s) ago

Svara

Works fine with PG on or off. Works fine with Bijans (and REX) seasons.

I don't really understand why you would hide the python scripts, especially the providers one (I like to put the Sentinel-2-Cloudless Map source instead of ArcGIS). Will be staying on 5.0.9 with opensource code. 😊

derekhe 2 day(s) ago

Svara

More features will be available in future and maybe paid, open source doesn't make sense to me.

Ravlyk 2 day(s) ago

Svara

But this is "for research and learning purposes only"?

derekhe 2 day(s) ago

Svara

The code is there and in future I'm planning have a pro version which has more attrative features. The open source version is still there.

Does anyone know how to set up a proxy for google server?

The google map server: mt.google.com khm.google.com never works for me and it suggested setting up a proxy for google server, anyone knows how to do that please. It almost drives me crazy

AEL021 2 day(s) ago

Svara

Did you enable rolling cache and high LOD ? If both were disabled, google maps would make a CTD and cannot use it.

I don't want to run in administrator mode. Is there some things I can do manually like changing hosts file and then run this mod in non privileged mode.

rfxcasey 3 day(s) ago

Svara

I'd like to know this as well, kind of sketchy if you ask me.

derekhe 3 day(s) ago

Svara

Sorry, none at the moment.

audiomil 2 day(s) ago

Svara

The only sketchy thing about this ~~sim~~ game - is Microsoft. If MS wouldn't be in the picture, this game could have been called a flight simulator...

If you want security use Linux, dude. All these admin/non-admin modes in Windows is BS

johnliem 2 day(s) ago

Svara

Hello which Linux do you use? ubuntu?

souravl19 2 day(s) ago

Svara

All that is needed is perhaps admin privilege for modifying the hosts file which can be done manually. You don't need admin privilege for running a http proxy server.

Backlog
Förslag, fel och idéer för framtiden.

Version 5.1.0 July 02, 2022

* Add minimize and close to tray
* Not remove saved configed when uninstall the app
Version 5.0.9 June 24, 2022

Fixed privacy and largely improved photogrammetry data loading speed. Recommend all to upgrade:

* Add privacy options to allow disable remote log collecting
* Remove mtx data handling from runtime server to improve photogrammetry data loading
Version 5.0.8 June 19, 2022

This is a stable version and recommend for everyone to update.
* Add auto download new versions
* Do not kill all python.exe
* Collecting anonymous logs for trouble shooting and analysis.
* Fix update notice
Version 5.0.7 May 28, 2022

If you want higher loading speed, you can try this version

Bug fixes:

Fix cache hit percentage issue
Update nginx.conf to further improve loading speed (Thanks @kn007 )

Please help donate a coffee to help me work on new features. Some features I'm thinking about is here: https://github.com/derekhe/msfs2020-map-enhancement/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Afeature
Version 5.0.6 May 17, 2022

Fix half-cut icon.
Start the application with no sandbox by default to fix GPU-related issues.
Version 5.0.5 May 16, 2022

For who has crashed installation, please update and try:
* Updated electron package to the latest version, don't know if it can fix the crash issue.
* Please try it and give me feedback. Your help is really needed to improve this software and future releases. I can't reproduce this problem so I had to try different things.

The crash is related to a GPU issue. Please make sure you have the latest display driver installed.

If it doesn't work, please follow the following steps:

* Open Command Prompt in windows
* navigate to installation folder using cd command: cd "C:\Program Files\MSFS2020 Map Enhancement"
* run the exe file with --no-sandbox: ".\MSFS2020 Map Enhancement.exe" --no-sandbox

If still crashes, please report an issue here:
https://github.com/derekhe/msfs2020-map-enhancement/issues
with these details:
* screenshots of the command line window
* your hardware and software configuration: CPU, GPU, GPU driver version, is notebook, windows version (run systeminfo.exe in command prompt)
