sorry if this has been asked before, i have done photo scenery for my home city, not the best satalitte imagery ive seen, so want to make the forests and fields fsx scenery, tried sbuilder with its lc textures, proably doing something wrong again, any help would be appreciated, have all the water ways mapped and shorelines lined up, just needs a little bit more.

Custom (photo-real) ground textures will always display over the default generic textures and their associated autogen buildings and vegetation will no longer be visible. It is one or the other, and you cannot create custom textures and then draw a forest polygon over it with Shp2Vec.However, you can add autogen buildings and vegetation to your custom textures quite easily. Please see Using the Autogen Annotator, available in the Avsim library, for more detailed instructions.http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?&DLID=107335Best regards.Luis

thanx will give it a whirl
