You're welcome. QGIS is a really neat tool .... and, last mut not least, it serves as a nice frontend to GRASS (yet it doesn't save you from learning GRASS from the ground up ;-) I pretty much convinced that OpenJUMP is another excellent tool to get WMS imagery onto your desktop and I like it very much because it's proven to be extremely fast at re-rendering when you're dealing with vector data (WFS, Shapefiles, PostGIS and the such). I've just never used it for WMS. > On Mon, 2009-05-25 at 14:12 +0000, Martin Spott wrote: >> 3.b) Insert the WMS URL from the 'mapserver.flightgear.org' main page > > This had me fooled for a minute.

I simply took the entire URL (copy link location) and pasted it into the respective input field in QGIS. Note that: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/ms is serving WMS as well as WFS.
