Hi Frank.Try Grises50, courtesy of the Scenery Hall of Fame:http://www.scenery.org/_downloads/grises50.zipYou may also want LODCalc, by Richard Marklew, available right here at AVSIM, to help you calculate the required extents of your DEM:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...hor=&CatID=RootDick

A useful tool I use to make meshes is FSTerrain by Martin Wright, a pretty user friendly and hassle free tool for creating mesh terrain based on DEM files or greyscale images.http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/index.htmTry it, you won't be dissapointedEDITED: And it's free ;-)--Daniel R. Careri

Thanks for the hints.I mentioned that I might be an idiot: I easily can import grayscale and do all the settings but no .bgl file is written when I push the respective button.What did I overlook this time?regsto all patient readersFrank
