Geoconvert: no input aerial images found

  • Hi,

    I'm trying to add my own satellite images to aerofly.

    I downloaded all the TIF files from swisstopo and made for each TIF file an AIC file, as described in the documentation.

    But when I run geoconvert I always get the following Error: no input aerial images found in './input_aerial_images/'

    However, I have placed all the files in the correct folder.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks, and regards.

  • Hi,
    Difficult to figure out with so less information.

    At first view, I notice that you are talking about an AIC file. But the newer geoconvert versions need an AID file or you have to use the *.tfw-file as a base (*.aid will be generated by geoconvert) . Maybe this is the cause.

    Syntax of the corresponding AID-File: b_16_stich_1_1.aid

    <[file][][]

    <[tm_aerial_image_definition][][]

    <[string8][image][b_16_stitch_1_1.png]>

    <[string8][mask][]>

    <[vector2_float64][steps_per_pixel][2.14576721191406e-05 -1.48500384806035e-05]>

    <[vector2_float64][top_left][7.03125 46.2672402038251]>

    <[string8][coordinate_system][lonlat]>

    <[bool][flip_vertical][false]>

    In principle, it is much easier to use Aeroscenery to create your own photo scenery:

    Geoportal (Switzerland) does not work as a source anymore, I will fix it with the upload of my next MOD (works allready for me).

    Strange. I am currently doing Switzerland in Level 10, as I forgot to do it last year. For me GEO Portal works

  • This was indeed the Problem. Thank you for your help :)

    Aeroscenery doesn't really work for me. Every time I try to run it, my PC crashes. And when it runs successfully for once, the images have a weird red overlay. So, I decided to make my own script that downloads the files and creates the AID files for me. I also noticed that the images on Geoportal are kind of old (sometimes from 2011). That's also a reason why I want to use the swisstopo images, since they are not older than 3 years.
