• 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.

I bought a few acres megascenery earth

In mine in Phoenix, you can see the ole Rover out front in the driveway.

When you can even see your own car in front of your house, its amazing.


You know, I was thinking, how sometimes you see a bit of a seam in the tiles.. Can you imagine how difficult it is to do an entire countryside in a day in actual flying or Satellite Photography? The time element in passing over the area, mixed with the movement of the sun and thus effecting the shadows of objects on the ground, with each pass of the camera in the sky (atmosphere or orbital), the shading and light is constantly changing, in constant flux... Then you have clouds drifting along (some tiles will have a cloud zone here or there).

So... Its amazing that they are as nice as they are. Must be terribly difficult to get them all smooth and no seams..
