 ====How Aerofly renders aerial images====
-Aerofly FS 2 uses a level technique with different resolution per level to render aerial images. At the base there is level 0. Level 0 consists of a single square image that covers the whole earth. This image would be used if viewing earth from very far away. Next is level 1. Level 1 consists of 2x2 images covering the whole earth.

At the base there is level 0. Level 0 consists of a single square image that covers the whole earth. This image would be used if viewing earth from very far away. Next is level 1. Level 1 consists of 2x2 images covering the whole earth. Then for level 2 we have 4x4 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. Please do not go below level 9 unless you convert a really large area with your images as Aerofly already includes those levels.

-  * 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.
