Just a few shots Id like to share of my experimental GC textures (using normal maps) and HD mesh......

I'm not sure how XP draws its textures, or how big one sheet is, but is it possible to represent rock strata? That's one of the things that really struck me about the Grand Canyon when I went there. So far the only sim I've seen it done in is Hawaii in MSFlight, which did it pretty well.

It is possible to "position" textures in that fashion in X-Plane.  The GC was only an experiment since those textures will show up in odd locations on the globe so i doubt I will pursue it further....
