• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hi JP. Yes, you can definitely get a G2K ready image out of Exploring Google Maps. But be careful. Thy don't always fit the mask/mesh srtm swbd images- and thus scenery that is built exclusively with the EGM images may not fit the mesh just right. But most of the time- with a little tweaking everything works fine.

And many time clouds obscure the details (grrrr). I've gotten where I use an Exploring Google maps image as an overlay to my exported Tatuk shp file image.
 
Hi Chris
"..be careful...".
Yes but a high resolution in straight area is good for work on a existing airfield ,in the "investigation time" you can try to depicts the old traces under the modern airfield ,that need HR ,and finally it's good to work too on this background bmp in g2k and in fssc for the blended mask realize ,and any HR big bmp that increase the accuracy of the work is welcome:ernae: .
Now I will try to edit one to see ...
