Creating Screenshot plus Map .BMP for Ground2K4 Tutoria...

[Guest JosephSAnderson]

Am working through this very helpful tutorial.As in the first steps of the tutorial, I want to take a top-down screenshot of my area in FS2004 and then add a map (obtained from the internet) that contains the greater detail I want to build in the scenry. What tool do I use to put the two images together before loading into Ground2K4? I tried Paint, but couldn't find a way to stretch the map to fit the coordinates of the screenshot. Any help appreciated,Joe

Hello Joe,You are absolutely correct - an advanced image editing program is essential to our work.Please see the topic "Beginner's Guide" that is pinned to the top of this forum. It contains some suggestions for free (!) powerful, image editing software.I have been using the GIMP for the past few months and am surprised by the power and flexibility.Best regards.Luis
