FSX would be MAXED if it used the sat images and had as many 3D buildings. btw: this thing runs in openGL and FSX runs in DirectX. DX is not very good for frame rates. If its laggy…your PC is lame.

To #68: There is a program called Tile Proxy that imports internet satellite imagery into FS. You might be able to use that though the program is relatively slow to load the tiles and can be a cpu resource hog. http://darking1985.d-host.ru/p.....kemon.html

FLY OVER SWITZERLAND!!! The whole country is in high resolution and the scenery is breathtaking! There's snowy mountain peaks, rocky crags and deep green valleys all over the place! Use the fighter, set cockpit view down one notch (Ctrl+down arrow), and set rudder to one side. You'll go round in a large circle but this will ensure all high res scenery eventually loads, and it really looks awesome. Can't wait till some more countries are photographed as well as this.
