Yes it's possible. For FSX the tool I've used is SBuilderX, the 'swiss army knife' for terrain design.

You wiil need the FSX SDK installed. (comes with the Deluxe or Gold versions of FSX)

Download the latest version here: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=72. The manual sets out the process, but doesn't go into much explaination for a 'new' user.

You can get in detailed help at the author's support forum here: http://www.ptsim.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=22

I have only dabbled in a couple of small 'photoreal' projects, so can't be much help.

Good luck,
Dave

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

First is to check that 'shp2vec.exe' is at the specified path.

If it is then I suspect it is the security issue running in Vista or Windows7.
