Google Earth as ground textures????

[N2744X]

Hi everyone,
                 I thought that I had heard somewhere that it was possible to used google earth as ground textures in FS2004. Is this possible? Also, is there any way to get 2d or 3d vehicles to show up moving on roads?

There are Many photoreal ground textures available for FS9, found here on SIMV, or AVSIM.

I agree whole-heartedly with PD, Bluesky's sceneries are AWESOME ! If you perform a search for "photo-real scenery" at almost any flight sim website around, your almost sure to find something. There is also a very nice tutorial describing the "do it yourself" method of photo-real scenery development posted here:

As far as the moving vehicles and such go, that would need to be done using AI add-ons. There are a few out there, but you can expect a good performance hit while using most of them.
