Very Interesting. In and around the Isle of Skye of the west coast of Scotland there are mountins that look something similar. You know with finger-like peaks.

For crying out loud, in what way does it look like a finger?! Tongue

Perhaps you can't tell a mountain peak from a finger? lol

Maybe i'll try lowering that peak

Mike.. are you just trying to have a go at me today?
If that does not look like a finger like mountain peak then what does it look like? I actually thought it looked quite good and I wasn't criticising.

aha, um, ok, sorry.

I guess it just seems a tad offensive to hear the peak looks like the finger, lol, sorry

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


60,000ft! Wow! Did someone post a pic of that here on SimV? Cheesy

I think it's FSTerrain at MW Graphics. It's an old application originally developed for CFS2/FS2002. http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/programs/fstrn.htm

From Mike's shots it seems to work well enough in FS9.

PS. Mike. Finger-like is a perfectly good adjective often used to describe mountain peaks. You will get on much better if you're not so ready to take offence when people are in fact being complimentary. Roll Eyes Wink
