Terrific idea, interesting to see just how close FS9 can really be to the real thing. Maybe we should all have a go at replicating a genuine pic.

One thing though, it's a shame that the Airbuses are different models in the first two! ;)

The grass on pic 2 is http://www.simviation.com/fs2004scenery73.htm and I believe this makes the texture look nice and thick just like real grass.

Eh? There is no 767 that I can see.

Pic1, Photo, A319 (Poss A318?), Pic2, FS, A310,

Pic3, Photo, B777, Pic4, FS B777.

5 and 6 are some Russian birds.....

5 and 6 are Tu154's. I just came back from holiday on one from Bulgaria and i must say they are a very nice, but very loud aircraft.

It does make grass look great on the ground. Unfortuneately, it also muck up ground textures seen from altitude. Far off landmasses and mountains all apear to have stripes on them!

Not reccomended, I have removed.

Do you know, I think you may be right! The 767 is such an anonymous shape, it's hard to tell.

Great idea, have been wanting to do that for ages!!!

Thanks for the link also, the grass seems to have limitations from a distance (someone said) but there's taxiway textures on the same page which look pretty cool...
