For ya $34 US bucks there is a little more to it than just plopping it into FSX, there is the mapping features, Cfg. animations then course the the cockpit build.

You can always put the FSX scenery on your screen and buzz it around in your hand in front of the monitor grab a few picks with your camera and post them up ninja.gif wacko.gif punk.gif

There's no reason why it shouldnt be possible, as all you've done is skip the modelling process

I'd say go for it - it would be a good experience, whatever the result.
you never know what it could lead to.

Yeah, seriously aye, I know it's a huge undertaking for all you guys who do scenery and aircraft, but be really interesting to do it as a Kick-Starter. Pledge the money, set a goal for how much you would do it for, anything above that is a bonus I guess. I'd say most folks would be happy to lay down $20+ for something niche like that surely? No doubt you've considered this sort of thing before Rob, and I guess it's kinda like what you do with your subscription scenery?
