Hey guys,
After using the new apple maps with flyover on my ipad I thought about how awesome it would be to have a similar concept implemented into FSX or any future flight simulation program. Using high def images of the earths surface combined with a RADAR scan, or some sort of coding to create depth in the images perhaps to create a 3D landscape of houses, trees, cars, buildings and structures that really exist into this flight simulator. I know the computing power would have to be tremendous to compute this data, but we are on the realms of technology capable of this. Using this idea and some of your own, how realistic could future flight simulators become?
