Terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com has aerial photographs of the US and Alaska down to 1m resolution (though most of it is 10yrs old, for obvious reasons). Most of the US and Alaska, at least. No, we can't get photo-scenery for Groom Lake.
They get the photographs from USGS, but I can't find out if it's possible to just grab the lot. I take it that it isn't, though they also seem to have colour-infrared photographs available. I'm not sure how much a non-US national can help if anybody wants the data.

Now I've stopped drooling and repeatedly saying "3 meters!" I'll reply :-) All the flightgear scenery is preprocessed using the tools available at www.terragear.org. If you're wanting to create high resolution scenery then this is where you'll need to start. There's a tutorial here: http://www.terragear.org/docs/scenery-tutorial/fg-scenery-tutorial.html That will cover the basics. The code for the positioning of photographic images is very under-developed, and not really in a usable state yet. It can be made to work reasonably effectively but imposes a very high load on the graphics subsystem as flightgear does not yet support texture paging. -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
