...What do you think?

You're a master of image clipping  ;D

It looks definitely better than before, may you should repaint the underlaying ground texture by hand so it better blends with the surroundings and objects?

Also, adding grass around the runways is always a nice feature I saw in FSX and also try to soften the edges of all the runways so things get really "grounded" in their surroundings if you understand what I mean?

The one I made is based on Google Earth as a test, to see if I could pull it off. It certainly helps on the impression! However, the original resolution is not ideal, and as Kaphias states, it's against Googles terms of use.

I've initiated contact with another service that will bring me better tools for measurement and image quality - thus adds the possibility to make ground textures in very high quality.

I'm not sure about the pricing for this yet - things are going a bit slow on their end...

Worst case scenario: I use GE as a reference and hand paint textures according to the image.

Excellent, and very inspiring work OlaHaldor! Are you using WED 1.1 Beta to place the orthophoto? I am experimenting with Nearmap.com's ortho's for freeware scenery, as their public license is very generous. They also provide a great tool called Hypertiles that will download tiles from their servers, and allows one to export tiles in predefined sizes and resolutions.

I have tried to create an overlay with one of these tiles in WED, but it shrinks my images. Is this the same way you create yours? I am really impressed with your efforts here, and look forward to seeing what you come up with. I especially like the custom texture on the runway, as the default X-Plane runway textures have a very "synthetic" look to it.

Best of luck!

I'm using WED 1.0. The ortho photo was added as a draped polygon in Overlay Editor. :)

This scenery will be payware. Been spending too many hours to justify it as freeware. I doubt people actually would use a donate button.. :D

I checked with the Nearmap.com website. Doesn't look promising in regards of getting ortho photos of Spain from there.

No new models. But I've started looking at the possibility of making kick ass night textures. Here's a render of what you can expect.

There's four of these hangars which belongs to Inaer, and there's a Pepsi machine which also have some sort of self illuminating light fixtures, and there's a lamp on the curved hangar which will throw some light on the ground.

I think this will add a lot to the mood, even though there's no lights on the runway, it will certainly be cool to make an evening flight here.

Oh, and you read this first at x-pilot, not .org or any other site. :o
