+  * For aerial images to appear at larger distances and to keep texture usage low, Aerofly FS 2 uses textures with a varying coverage. At the base the whole earth is covered by a single texture, we call that level 0. As a next step the whole earth is covered by 2x2 level 1 textures, then 4x4 level 2 textures and so on. Its recommended that your aerial images are converted to level 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 to give a good coverage. Level 14 corresponds to roughly 1m per pixel.
