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". |

Whole of Microsoft original sceneries | LAGO Tokyo, Kinki, and Hokkaido sceneries etc. | It's first time in the world making for vast area ? | ||||
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. | ||||
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. | ||||
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. | ||||
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. |
