Making VFR landmarks?

Featured Replies

Hi folks.

What am I missing? Would this work as I am picturing it? Any helpful tips appreciated!Ron
If you just want to see it from the air, some 2000-3500 feet above it would be enough just to place some nice pictures to the ground. Hard work to adjust the high res pictures accordingly.If you want it as to be a "real 3D object" you must have at least an cubic object with the "Photos" as a texture on it.The 3D object and its placement istn

Thank you, Christian.Hmmm...I hadn't considered a flat "picture" on the ground.

I HIGHLY recommend Instant Scenery - I use this to put more scenery at the airport(s) I fly to/from in real life (not that many, yet) but also to add large landmarks, such as a high school, large warehouses, barns/silos, etc.http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=instscen2This version (2) adds some great mouse control of placement of objects! (I wish I could define a large area to fill with objects, though...)They're not perfect - I don't sweat it if the building or landmark proportions are a bit off - but it does wonders as far VFR navigation goes.Also see TileProxy.Good luck!Andrew
