The Map Room
Welcome to the map room of the KFLog project. Here you can find the ground and terrain maps to use with KFLog and Cumulus. We provide map files for the entire world, 1.8 GB in total!
If you need a big portion of the map, you will need to download a lot of data. If you don't want to download the map, you can contact us for a CD. Please tell us the area you want to get on CD.
Aeronautical data
The KFLog project distinguishes between two types of aeronautical maps: airspace structures on the one hand and airport, airfield and outlanding data on the other hand.
Ground and Terrain data
These files contain the shore line, the contour lines of the terrain and all roads, railways, cities, rivers, etc. While the shore line and the rivers, ... are taken from the DCW (digital chart of the world), the terrain data is taken from the GTOPO30 and SRTM data to provide a more detailed contour. The following map files types are in us:
- G_XXXXX.kfl -- Ground files. Basically a land/sea mask.
- T_XXXXX.kfl -- Terrain files. This is ground elevation data.
- M_XXXXX.kfl -- Mapdata files. Roads, rivers, lakes, cities, ...
- L_XXXXX.kfl -- Landmark files. Towers, mines, ruins, train stations, ... (not used in Cumulus)
The XXXXX specifies the tile number. It is based on the center latitude and longitude of the tile. The entire world is devided into 2° x 2° sections, so called tiles. The tile numbering starts with 0 and ends with 15199, in total 16200 tiles, whereas every tile type is put in a single file. The tile counting starts at 90°N, 180°W and runs eastwards through the longitudes and southwards through the latitudes.
We recommend to install at least the ground files because otherwise you will get no land at all.
At the moment we have to different versions of ground and terrain files. The old variant has to be used for all KFLog releases less than 2.2.0 or Cumulus releases less than 2.4.0. You can download the map files as single tiles or as tar ball for a predefined region. The last mentioned is the recommend one.
