So what are people thoughts generally about whether to place othrophotos in airport scenery? Personally I find them distracting when they are low res, and even athigh res they sometimes don't look great on the ground. But when they are done right, they look amazing. I do have access to .15m resolution orthophoto's for my KPVD project, and am currently using them for overlay images in WED to update and expand on the default layout. They are pretty high res, but man were they a pain to work with. The were originally, JPG2 files from the USGS at 10000X10000 pixels in UTM zone 19N. I had to re-project them to LL-WSG-84, then "chop" them up into 16 sections because WED chokes on huge images, then convert them to geo-tiff. Thankfully I have tools at work that allow be to script and batch the process all at once, but still. Anyway I am considering using them in my project, but I am not sure i want to go to the effort of actually getting them into x-plane (well until WED 1.3 is release, which may be a different story). Is this something people really want? Sorry for the late night open ended question...
