This might be a dumb idea but I thought it would be interesting. What does your neighborhood look like in the FSX world?

This is mine in South Carolina

If you go onto Google Earth, then type in your address, it will display the co-ordinates at the bottom.

Guess I was just lucky that I live at the base of a small mountain, about 2000'.

Well, we can't have everything. I don't have FSX installed. My town is just a crossroads and a bunch  of trees in FS9. I bought EZ-Scenery to try and give it some life, but EZ-S is on strike-- ain't workin'. I gots nothin'...

This is just FSX with UTX and GEX. It's not real photo-scenery, but it looks a lot better then bare ground. I just posted these shots to show you what your area could look like with some add-ons to your flight sim.

My 'hood' in Google Earth & FSX, Looks better in FSX ;). All the major roads & railroads are in the right place, but the side streets are a letdown. 8-)
