• 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.

Most pilots are approaching Salta by now. Nevertheless I wanted to share some interesting Google Earth overlays that I just saw and find useful for planning the flights through the mountains.

http://www.mgmaps.com/kml/
Allows to overlay maps and terrain reprasentation from Google maps, Windows maps, Yahoo maps and Openstreet maps over the Google earth terrain.
Google maps terrain representation has elevation contour lines, which makes determination of altitudes easier.
The roads of Yahoo or Windows maps may better correspond to the roads in FS than those in GE/Plan-G, for pilotage.

Allows to flood the GE terrain to a specified altitude. Nifty for identifying those mountain passes to slip through.

I've also attached a kml file with airports of the CCAA event. Airport data from Ian Niblo's fsxge.zip.
