I was fooling around with TerrainTools2002, and i made this little mountain ( well, not actually that little ), it's exactly 19332 ft high at the peak! I call it Mount Cooie, Here are a few shots of it... Enjoy! Cheesy

.................I'm begging to suspect a Geforce2 MX400 isn't a good video card for FS2004......................

Hiya Mike, really nice lump you made there! Grin

I like it, especially the different peaks and plateaus!
Hey, I am running a Geforce2 MX400 as of right now but it has a lot of work done to it as you might know. The spec below are on hold while my problem gets fixed!
Anyway, nice work!

That's a cool looking mountain! 8) It reminds me of some mountains I've seen in Venuzuela but it was much shorter and didn't have that big peak in the middle. Must be some sight when flying by Grin

I was just thinking the same thing. Does anybody remember that 60,000ft spire in Guyana? That thing was huge!
