Hi there

Has anyone got google earth? There are some classic shots of major airports that can be had from above. Perhaps some ideas for future projects.

Area 51 is updated, too. I wish someone would do a good Area 51 scenery! (Hell, with a little work you could rip the satellite view from Area 51 and use it as the base!)

Is it updated for the free version or payware version? I didn't notice any update banners on the site...

The images that are streamed from the server are updated, you will notice next time you view the updated areas.

watch the images, they are (at least in the case of KLAS) OLD!
they have done a revert on KLAS for sure, as I know the C taxiway is already fully extended and in use.

NOT cool but , hey its free so....

I couldn't wait for FlyTampa to do it, so I made a mediocre Area 51 scenery (my first FS scenery ever!). It's on flightsim.com as area51.zip. Uses the Google Earth photo!
