This might be a dumb idea but I thought it would be interesting. What does your neighborhood look like in the FSX world?

This is mine in South Carolina

If noone is interested hope you enjoyed mine. Wink

If you go onto Google Earth, then type in your address, it will display the co-ordinates at the bottom.

Guess I was just lucky that I live at the base of a small mountain, about 2000'.

) and I'll see what I can do... Cheesy

Well, we can't have everything. I don't have FSX installed. My town is just a crossroads and a bunch of trees in FS9. I bought EZ-Scenery to try and give it some life, but EZ-S is on strike-- ain't workin'. I gots nothin'...

My system: AMD Phenom 9500 cpu, 2 x eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked vidcards (640Mb DDR3 each), Zalman "sunflower" 9700 fan, Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4Gb G.Skill PC2-6400 DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 2 x Sony 20X DVD writers, Thermaltake Toughpower 850W modular p/s, 7 x 120mm fans, Windows XP Home and SP3, 2 x 250Gb Western Digital SATA-300 HDs (1 for apps, 1 for storage and precious files backup), CoolerMaster CM 690 case, NOD-32. Won't run FSX. Locks up a lot with FS9, too.

This is just FSX with UTX and GEX. It's not real photo-scenery, but it looks a lot better then bare ground. I just posted these shots to show you what your area could look like with some add-ons to your flight sim.
