Change required to use ALOS Elevation Data (+Added Bjornoya to world_tiles) #160

Hi all I tried to use ALOS as elevation provider, which didn't work due to a dead link in the Script of Ortho4XP. I was able to fix this issue and i outlined the process of doing so in this .org-Post. I hope this will help some of you to use higher quality elevation data. Also i was unable to create elevation data for Bjornoya (small Island south of svalbard) as the world_tiles map didn't include the landmass there. The changed file for it is also to be found, in the last post of that thread. Enjoy the high resolution elevation data :) Best regards

I have updated the world_tiles.png with yours on my side, will push it for the next update. Could you post the updated link for ALOS ?

I have the impression that Opentopograhy does not allow direct download anymore, I have left the provider for compatibility with those having the files already downloaded, but new DEM won't be downloaded. Anyway ALOS was a DSM and for that reason I am not sure it was really worth using it for XP.
