- A smaller installer size (~3 GB)
- Faster updates
- Cleaner separation between the core app and the sky data cache
Mosaic Planner Pro uses high-resolution offline sky tiles for the sky background, framing data, and mosaic grid needed for accurate planning. The tile package is distributed separately from the main installer because it is large.
The offline tile package is a large optional dataset for Mosaic Planner Pro. If your download links were included with your AIT delivery email, place all archive parts in the same folder and follow the installation instructions below. If you do not have the links, contact support and I will provide the current package location.
Split archive (7 parts):
1) Download all 7 files into the same folder.
2) Right-click cache.part1.rar and choose Extract Here (or similar).
3) WinRAR / 7-Zip will automatically combine all parts and extract the folder:
cache\sky_tiles\.
Where to place the extracted folder:
Move the resulting folder so the final structure looks like:
C:\AIT_Portable\
app\
tools\
runtime\
cache\
sky_tiles\
tile_1.png
tile_2.png
tile_3.jpg
...
If cache or sky_tiles does not exist, you can create it manually.
When Mosaic Planner Pro starts, it automatically scans
C:\AIT_Portable\cache\sky_tiles\. If the tiles are missing or not installed
correctly, the Mosaic Planner cannot load the sky imagery and will not operate as intended.
C:\AIT_Portable\cache\sky_tiles\
cache.part1.rar ... cache.part7.rar are in the same foldercache.part1.rarC:\AIT_Portable\cache\sky_tiles\
cache.part#.rar files is missing.
