CMO Tacview Textures Downloader

A tool to download Sentinel-2 texture tiles and SRTM30 elevation data for use with Tacview and Command: Modern Operations. This downloads ALL textures and terrain data, totaling ~26 GB of space. If you stop, it will resume where you left off on the next start assuming downloaded files are still present. Once finished you must move the files yourself to proper location.

This tool downloads from WarfareSims servers. Be respectful of bandwidth limits. If you receive a "bandwidth exceeded" message, try again later. This is intentionally throttled to not hammer the providers servers, while you can modify the parameters I recommend leaving the defaults.
