JoshK Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 For some reason the other day I started playing Flight Sim 2004. I've played pretty much all versions of flight sim since back in the day but hadn't touched it in a while. I saw a scenery pack for the northwest online so I ordered it. The cascades look pretty damn amazing in it for a simple computer sim. You can actually pick out the individual mountains very distinctly as opposed to the default scenery where it's just fairly generic mountains. Anyway, I thought it was pretty neat...here are some pics: Baker & Shuksan from over concrete: The Cascade Pass / Eldorado area from over concrete: Quote
olyclimber Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Ya, well I already got the FVA (First Virtual Ascent)for the entire North Cascades. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I'm guessing they took the arial photography from Microsoft terraserver and over layed a digital topographic map and just modeled it that way, automatically. The clearcuts are funny! Quote
Blake Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I'm guessing they took the arial photography from Microsoft terraserver and over layed a digital topographic map and just modeled it that way, automatically. The clearcuts are funny! Similar to the "Keyhole" 3D mapping software, which is pretty amazing in its own right. Quote
Alex Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Baker and Shuksan, isnt that really over Baker Lake? It doesnt look like Skagit River to me... Quote
