I've just grabbed this from Avsim.
This uses a high resolution aerial image for the airport background, airport buildings and a lot of extra stuff surrounding the airport.
...is it just me or does everyone see giant birds flying overhead? By giant I mean 747-sized...

I have installed it as well - I tried to get closer to the birds but they were up at 13,000 ft even then it was hard to see the size. They did not look 747 size to me. I do get rows of trees which start tall and slowly taper down to nothing though !!

I was judging the size by the shadows:)

Could you post some pics? Just want to see what the photoreal is like since there are no thumbnails :)

Here ya go...
I've turned off the 20 metre mesh, as it only seems to work with the default mesh. Unfortunately my 20 metre mesh folder includes the landclass, so that's switched off as well, otherwise there would be a better match.



The big shadowy crosses are the bird shadows.
