I can download the DB3000 images etc. but the download of the Map Pictures from Command for Tacview won t start. Does anyone know why and what i can try. I copied some of them manually but there seems to be so many, it takes minutes to even scroll... etc....
Thx for the answer!!!

sorry......

i cant download them either..... because.. it seems so complicated and im not very smart..... so my tackwiew has a lot 0f little paper airplanes and rubber boats.....

hehe ok ..... well it should be simple just push download!!!!!!! but it doesnt work!!!!! i guess i ll try again from time to time.... its quite large i guess about 60 gb right?

well i copied about 2600 of the pic manually, and drag them into the folder, i saw in tacview , that when i zoom in, the tiles are displayed!!!!!! i d realy love to get em all!!!!!!!!!!!!! but it must be 30.000 pics or so i fear.....

i guess i made it !!! seems to download!!!!!!! hope it works, command isgreat simulation, and with tacview usin the pics even greater!!!

Is there something wrong with your CAPS lock key?

thx for the answer!!! i guess i made it work, THX!!!!

If it's any easier, I created a text file of the links that can be used with a downloader.

Check this thread.

sounds great THX!!!!!

damns, i downloaded by selecting all of em manually!!!! seemed to work ,loaded , very small bandwith for last 6 hours.... at 10 gb (of the 60GB) error occured and stopped download, s...t , may try your way!!!!!

Damn.... i was looking for a downloader... found one, loaded your folder into it and it seemed to work... but then they asked my to get fullversion for 20 Bucks or else i could only download 100 pic per load hehe ........... so i stopped... now i m looking for another free downloader, but couldn t seem to find any serious good looking, any ideas which Downloader one is free and will work??? THX for answer

I've been using Jdownloader which works quite well, but caution - they went through a phase of bundling dodgyware (if not malware), though that may no longer be a problem.

It worked , the for all your help!!!!!! After some hard work im really enjoing the new tacview map!!! Great!!!!!!!!!!!! THX!!!!!!!

Now that i got the Sentinel 60 gig in tacview map!!! great!!!!!!!!! i d also love to have those other files, for elevation or how it s called, those srmt30 files or so, can anyone explain how to download them? there are files i click on and it starts an automatic download, and then there are file , when i click them an editor opens with text... do i need those text files and if yes how do i download them?

Those srtm files download when i click on them, , what do id o with those srtm.ers tex files? do i need them?? Copy them?

Can someone please explain me how to install the Sentinel-2 Textures in TacView ?

I have followed these instructions: http://www.warfaresims.com/?page_id=1876

- I pasted the (60 Gb) images in C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\
- I have also pasted the 33 .srtm files (terrain elevation data) into C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\SRTM30\

But when I start CMO (via Steam) and then launch the "3D view", I notice that TacView Advanced still displays its default terrain textures.

To me it works the way u did it, only thing is, that it takes a few seconds mybe about 10 secw until the sentinel map etc. is loading, also u only see it, when u zoom in a bit!!! And then some parts more far also load longer etc....

Hope u can make it soon, is really cool!

Also i think i I pasted the files in Steam/TacView.. and then the path u wrote!!!! U dont run with steam right?

Thank you Anwer (and Dimitris on the Steam Discussions). It finally worked.


It worked but only with files directly placed in "C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\" (so not in a ~\Textures\Sentinel-2\ subfolder).
I also tried to move the images to "~\Steam\Steamapps\common\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\" and it also worked there. So this path can be an alternative.

This time, I waited much longer for the tiles to get displayed. For some reason, indeed, it takes a long time for tiles to load ( > 15 s here).

Tiles also only appear after zooming in enough (they also disappear if the zoom is too far), as you told me, Anwer.
On a side note, tiles also appear and disappear after panning the view. And btw, not all tiles get displayed: https://imgur.com/a/Jv8cWrE

It might be interesting for some players to install the images in the "~\Steam\Steamapps\common\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\" folder instead of "C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Textures\" if their partition for games is located on another drive.

Thanks again (and Merry Christmas!).
