Hey there P3D V4 Enthusiasts, and more... I'm sure that this question may have been though of before, or thought of...

I was on google maps the other day, looking at some cities in it's amazing 3D... and it got me wondering... could we ever export a full 3D city from Google Map's Date into P3D V4?

I've thought of this before, but I thought it would never be possible due to a 32-Bit simulator limitation.. but now with 64 bit.. I wonder if it would be possible to have a full 3D city...?

Here is a pic of Downtown MSP.. in full 3D.. just image this in P3D V4??

Maybe we aren't quite there yet in terms of hardware.. but it's good food for thought... 

We already can export photoreal scenery from google maps into a simulator.. wonder if we could ever do something like this in the future!
