Sceneries for Microsoft Flight simulator consist of files express ground appearance in 2 dimensional way, and files express major structures in 3 dimensional way. The files in 2 dimensional are classified in following two kinds, and I am just making third kind of files called "illustrated scenery".

Example of major scenery
Whole of Microsoft original sceneries LAGO Tokyo, Kinki, and Hokkaido sceneries etc. It's first time in the world making for vast area ?
Concept
Making some stereo-types of patterns e.g. city, firm, and industrial area; and combining them. Coarse figures are made from satellite photos, and fine figures are made from aerial photos. All figures are painted by myself based on the coordinates of the map.
Coordinate
The position is not correct dramatically especially in the city, in spite of possible to correct on principles. It seems that nearly correct position because it is photo-realistic, but also not correct in the case of crude products. Position error is zero on principle because of painting at the position determined by the map.
Good points
It does not become a load for hardware. It's light. A beautiful sight specially in a distant view of satellite photo. It is very realistic because of photo oriented. It has an exact coordinate. Customizing of feeling of the figure is possible freely. Easy to distinguish of roads and railways.
Not so good
Enlarged and not correct positiond. It has not a reality. Very heavy. It seems that coordinates are correct but it is not correct in real. (There are many errors in LAGO Tokyo scenery.) To distinguish a road is difficult for the shadows of the buildings. Reality is spoiled in the case of forceing to trase roads. Heavy same as a photo-realistic scenery. It has less reality comparing with a photo. The largest fault (or the merit in a viewpoint of hobby ?) is that a quantity of working is very huge, and seems to be a life work.
