That looks really good for 15 minutes!! I can't wait until I can learn how to do that :)Jason

Hey Jim easiest way (if you have PhotoShop) to import into Fly! is infact to do a Terrascene 2 project of the area first, either a normal TS2 version on even a version with nothing showing except the Fly!2 runways. To do the latter you need to have used Colins2's program 'TeraShape' to get the runways as 'shapefiles'.Anyway once you have a TS2 image you open that in PhotoShop and sit the new photo image (or multiple images) on to it. The 'runway only' version makes lining up (you'll need to re-scale the pics) easier. TS2 is still the easiest way to get scenery into Fly!-Todd's great program has also been discovered by the FS2002 people, they want it to make their landclass (ie landuse)definitions for them!My tutorial called 'UK4FLY-SceneryManufactureDoc' (concerning making UK photo scenery)in the Fly2 Scenery library also explains about making a 'water mask' and 'night image' with photo scenery.DaveT

I've got a pretty good natural color aerial of the entire SF Peninsula. From SF down south to about Hayward. and also includes Oakland.Send me an email if you want it. It's 18 meg JPG so not sure how to get it to you though.Forkboy2@yahoo.com
