WOW
Be warned this is a MONSTER down load of 180MBs
Its from NASA and it covers the globe
The US coverage is awesome as it not only gives you images but very detailed street maps
The rest of the world is covered just by images with different flavours
I did make a video so you could see what it was like before d/loading such a beast,but the video was nearly 600MBs,so it kinda defeated the object
It was a video of it zooming in from the view of the entire earth all the way down to a very well known bird and the zoom is very smooth
So have some screenshots 👍
1st up the UK and where I am now
Where I will be on Sunday
And some shots of the US
You can go from a view of the globe............. all the way down to this 😳
Try it if you can 👍
It does make you wonder just how good the real spy shots are 😳
Nearly forgot the link ➡

Enjoy
I won't have a chance to check it out until tomorrow, but it looks good! 👍 It must be good because it is taking a while to down load. I play in my Jazz band at my school's open house in about an hour. Wish me luck. 😀
Is this download for the Flight Simulator ❓ If it is for FS 2004 then we can get a good look at Area 51 😀 .
Goodluck My Pilot 😀
It doesn't look like it. It seems to be a separate free program onto itself.
I'm downloading now at a terrific speed.
Done, 4min 56 sec for the download. 180mb.
Thanks TTT I'll get to it in a few days, I have things that I need to catch up on.
I've still got 22 mins to go. 50% done
😀 Its nothing whatsoever to do with fs 😀
JVDForget about Area 51 Ive checked and for some strange reason it just comes up blank Why ? there is nothing there 😉
I keep finding things to do with it
Go to any mountain range and right click and drag for a profile view(or anywhere) [/b]
Looks good for creating your own AFCADS.
Is that Concorde on the gate in the last pic???

I suppose you could use it to make Afcads,but only the US is covered with detailed photos
It's great but I puts me down in the dumps to know that that STRM mesh isn't for the Flight Simulator.

😀 Its great,and only 10mbs d/load
Its the only one I use now 👍
Very, very cool! Thanks for the link.
TTT,
I am downloading now. Your right it is a big file. I have been downloading for about 5 minuets now and I am at 13%. My family and I are going on a trip from VA to Chicago to Minnesota. I want to see what things look like enroute.
Thank you,
Here is a little test for you ➡
How many aircraft can you see on approach to LAX
(Ive only found 2,but I know some of you will do loads better)
The 1st one is inland and not far from a sports ground
Other fab things with this prog are the 3D buildings and the fact that you can look at them from ground level
I must need some bins, can only find the one near sports ground.
😂 Ther are two runways in use(i think)
Have a try at Gibralter(only one)
Couldn't see any 😳
This link is much better on the old eyes for LAX
