Open Aerial

[roger8604]

Hello Scott,
Having problems again today downloading open aerial tiles. It appears to be related to zooming in/out.
If I zoom out to a very small area the tiles download, as I start zooming in the download will stop.
The colored aerial and My Topo download new tiles with no problem.
I'm looking at an area about 9 mi SE of Patagonia around these coordinates:
31.31.40 N  110.36.38 W
Thanks,
Roger

I am seeing the same thing Roger.  Only the highest resolution set is having issues -- the other ones are loading very quickly.

I'll try it again tomorrow and look into it further if it's not back up.  Thanks.

The server is returning invalid tiles, so there's not much I can do on TF's side.  Hopefully it will be a short outage.  In the meantime, how about the Color Aerial tileset?

Looks like the high resolution tiles are back now.

Hello Scott,
This May 1st around 2:30 PM. Just read your reply.
I'm still having trouble with the open aerial tiles. They are not downloading.
As before It appears to be related to zooming in/out.
If I zoom out to display a large ground area the tiles download, as I start zooming in to get a close up view the download will stop.
I'm stll trying to download open aerials for an area about 9 mi SE of Patagonia around these coordinates:
31.31.40 N  110.36.38 W.
I've tried moving away from these coordinates and again the colored aerails and topo's download just fine but the open aerials do not if I zoom in.
I have a good internet connection with fast speeds.
Thx,
Roger

Yeah, it's just the highest resolution set of tiles that seems to continue to have issues.

I got a screen or two full of high res tiles just now, but then it stalled out.  It's almost as if they have some sort of throttling, as the same thing happened yesterday.  Wait, I just got some more.  Strange.

Hello,
Yesterday I threw away the ini file and let TopFusion build a new one. It didn't solve the problem.
I uninstalled v4.41 and installed v4.50 and set up new preferences. That didn't solve the problem.
I can download open aerial tiles to resolution 1:3.26. Past that they stop.
Here is a strange part. At approximately1:3.26 resultion the open aerial tiles cover the area I'm looking at.
If I go to 3D view at this resolution ,there are No open aerial tiles on the 3D view.....

When you switch to 3D mode it often increases the resolution of the map in order to improve the detail.  Under 3D settings there is a "texture multiplication" setting that controls this.  If you leave it at 1.0 (all the way left) you will get exactly the same map and won't see any change in tiles that you have or don't have when switching to 3D.

Hope that makes sense.
