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:

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.
