terragear.microsoft.com and seamless.usgs.gov both give .5 m color ortho photos for many major American cities, and I think 2m bw for the rest of the US. You can get the lat/lon of the corners of the image from both, and both also tell you the scale of the image. terraserver has a nicer interface, but seamless also has access to many other datasets like vector roads and land use.
I have a related problem, while we're on the subject. I'm going to place a custom beacon at Andrews. First, it's a military beacon so it has three lights, and second it sits directly on top of a water tower, which will be a separate model. When I submit the taxiway data to Robin with the location of the beacon will this cause your generation scripts to place a standard beacon tower at the same spot?
The airport generation scripts create a beacon if there is one in the datafile for that airport, yes. Perhaps we need a way to provide a manually maintained exceptions list when building airports (and scenery).
