Heya Lotus49,

This would be an excellent thing indeed, however, I'm not aware of any program that will actually do this.  If such a program does exist, I would be one of the first to download it.

yeah i thought so.. But looks like someone will have to do it the hard way... cut and paste:) Iwouldnt mind doing a small part like a town or something, but how can i get the images into FS04.. Oh and btw sence google has buildings in it. How would i be able to export thoes into something i could use?

MegaScenery did that the same way.  Plus they filled in color too.

Hmm maybe im reading it wrong but that program dosent allow you to use the Google earth scenery in Fs2004... so the ground is actual high rez photo's that google earth used.. But use in FS2004..

If not, is there a tutorial that will allow bmp, or jpg images to be used to update the ground images in fs2004?
