What program are you using to download the images? I'm not having much luck lately

Using fsearthtiles to download and inkscape to create water and land masks. takes a long time coz google keeps being big brother and stopping the leech. Google also changes the version on the server which means when it changes you have to change the version too which is hard to keep up with. I happened to do most of my downloading last year at a time when Google was, let's just say, more generous with their imagery. Maybe this change occured when the new GeoEye came about.

Time to deal with this issue from the admin perspective, I guess.
Using these tools to download Google images breaches their conditions of use. This makes any discussion of this against the forum rules. This is for the protection of the forum in general -- we can't afford to get a reputation as the place to talk about illegal activities -- but also to protect individual members from publicly admitting their breach of intellectual property rights etc, and therefore leaving themselves open to legal action.

Incidentally, it also protects the rights of those who use imagery which they are entitled to use -- such as me:)

Scuse me but how on earth can you have lots of AI, amazing plane textures, amazing ground textures, amazing 'clouds' and just fantastic flightsim quality and get up to 30-120FPS!!!!!? I realize theres no autogen but I keep autogen at 'normal' and most of my 'sliders' in the mid zone and still only get 5 to 10 FPS
You must have some sort of super computer or very clever with tweaking etc cos I brought a pretty reasonable comp, Dell XPS M1730 'Gaming' laptop especially for FS and still get crappy as FPS. Any hints?

Try a Core I7 920 with 6gb of RAM and a Geforce 285 with 1 GB of Video RAM - CPU overclocked to 3.5ghz. also have a Sata2 striped hard drive config to tweak hdd performance a little further (really just for load times) and Some minor tweaking but not outside the usual tweaks known to man.

So in other words you built your own 'super' computer....wow thats way out of my league
I gues I will have to stick with my crappy 5FPS but thanks for the advice anyway
