Hi Guys,

I was just wondering where you scenery designers get your data from? (Sizes etc.)

I often use the measuring tool on Google Earth to measure the size of buildings, lengths of runways etc. It is reasonably accurate I find.
Also a lot of it is done using educated guesses :-) particularly for heights which you can't see on GE.
