IrishHussar Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hi ThereI've just managed to get my hands on quite an extensive library of DTED maps and also a key to reading where they are on the ground. My next step is to try to import one of these into SBPE with a view making a scenario/map of my local area. Is there any reference in the manuals on how to do this??Irish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daskal Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I think importing DTED files are only available in the Pro version - at least I saw an import DTED file option in the map editor of the Pro version which I cannot recall to be present in Pro PE. But I would really be interested in those DTED files you are talking about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishHussar Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hi Daskalthanks for the reply. I do have access to SB PRO and also perhaps the whole world in DTED.The files are in a DT1 format if that means anything to anybody.Irish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daskal Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Well - have you already tried this in the map editor? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Irish,PM 12Alfa or Dark Angel as they're both very knowledgable when it comes to making maps in SB. They both helped me out when I got started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 The files are in a DT1 format if that means anything to anybody.The DT1 file means that it is DTED Level 1 imagery. There are three available levels:Level 0 has a post spacing of 30 arcseconds in latitude direction (ca. 900 meters) Level 1 has a post spacing of 3 arcseconds (ca. 90 meters) Level 2 has a post spacing of 1 arcseconds (ca. 30 meters) So, the higher the level, the more detail it has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
