Here are the sources I use/am aware of: United States/~40km of Canada North of the border, including Oahu, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa and all 48 of the Contiguous United States: (GeoTIFF Format): USGS EarthExplorer United States, American Samoa, Maui, Kauai, and Maui Volcanic Chain, as well as certain USA Protectorates (GeoTIFF in some areas, JP2 in others - JP2 requires conversions): TheNationalMap Many cities and areas provide TIFFs of their areas. Please note that G2XPL is illegal if you are making use of Google, Bing, or Yahoo! imagery, along with copying any Google data (including image data) into WED. (edit:) This includes using Google, Bing or Yahoo! imagery as a reference material. No derivative works as per the terms of use. Cheers! I hope my sources helped you out. If you need help using them, I am familiar with the tools.

So I started a thread on the org but I figured one would be appropriate here as well. Here is where you can find the WIP renders and screenshots of the cockpit and general 3D/visual updates. Some beginnings of the main panel.

Pictures, or it didn't happen...

Hi folks, no fighting or it´s off to your rooms! It looks like the next preview videos will be two at just over ten minutes each, showing a full "cold and dark" startup, terminating when taxiing out to the departure runway. I have done a "dry run" yesterday, and the team reviewed the video and we are implementing some minor tweaks and fixes to small issues that showed up during this test. One was some lit areas of the panel that were shining at night, even though there was no elec power, for example. I will explain as I go in my usual rambling style, and barring any showstoppers I will shoot the final version next Monday/Tuesday and it will go up on our channel shortly thereafter. If there is any system or process that you would like to have some more information on feel free to ask for it here, I will try to accommodate that in those videos. The rough idea is an early morning startup for a completely dormant, unpowered aircraft, including all system checks. Secondary objective is to point out the different sounds that we implemented recently, all the way from gyro spin to pack outlets. Jan

Oh yes, sign me up, SOLD, my Titan will love this and so will I.

I find that Earth Viewer is troublesome, so I use TNM. In TheNationalMap: Zoom into the area you want to download. Click the "Download" Button (1). (They moved were this button was, so I had to look for it.) Select your area to download (2). Select "Orthoimagery" Select your images. (Hint: Some images might only cover a part of your airport, so click on the imagery and a purple shaded area will appear were the imagery extends to.) You can select many areas this way, and when you're done, click the "Checkout" button on the left side under your list of images you want to download. It will only ask for your email, and the images will be sent to you when they are ready. Happy downloading!

A note on importing into WED: With GeoTIFF, the images will literally fall straight to where they belong.

I've read and accepted the terms and conditions is the biggest lie today.
