Hey, company - anyone heard of any plans to provide FS scenery from one of the satellite image databases (e.g. Google Earth, MS Virtual Earth)? I just think the difference in realism would be amazing. I have not heard of any developers working on that as a project with an estimated release date.
Cheers, and good flyin' to ya'

Michael, I use Tileproxy (what Matt suggested above). It's tedious to setup, but if you can push through it, the end result is amazing!
Here are some pics...

Thanks, Senior Captain Matt. Have you downloaded and tried the beta? If yes, any comments as to its performance would be appreciated.

Thanks, Chris and Matt Amazing pics. In the half hour since I started this thread, I know enough to give this scenery method a try. Cheers - Mike

I have "selfware" enhancements to downtown Birmingham and downtown Atlanta, using Google Earth buildings. It makes both cities look awesome!
