Nice work, looks good so far. Personally I would have used a mix of the photos and PSD, would save a tone of time and wouldn't look much different. Nice airport, there is some great resolution sat imagery for free of it as well, looking forward to the final.

Textures are my favorite part, I am a graphics designer by profession so I take great pride in producing the graphics side of things.Where have you found great resolution sat imagery for free? I am currently using Google Earth and Bing Maps, I have not yet started searching for other sources that can be used free in a project.

Hi Badge, you can get a level 20 zoom at this airport from Bing, which comes out to better than 30cm/pixel. Here is a shot of the raw data (no color correction or blend map) at level 18 zoom, which is better than 70cm/pixel and the whole airport is a 500+ MB BMP, at 19 zoom the BMP would be about 2 gig (would have to split it) This is about the best you'll get for free, but it's great quality.kcsgcolumbus.jpg

Very Nice! I plan on retouching the whole ground anyway using it only as reference, did you use SBuilderX to pull that into the sim?

Yep, SbuilderX. I use this method also for smaller, custom painted BMPs at custom airfields, so I look forward to what you will come up with.

Best, Michael
