The fidelity seems much higher than FS2004 or previous versions stock scenery. There were still a few things that seemed out of place. Still, it is a huge improvement from any stock scenery I have seen before. The Eastern Shore coast seems to have more detail as do the Islands. These were always a trouble spot in any sim. KDCA is sitting up on a strange ledge. And there appear to be two Washington Monuments. Steve --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

This is nice to hear. Curt, could you specify which coastline and lake data you actually took for this build - did you take the recent 1.3 GSHHS release ?

LICJ has no slopes on the runway anymore :-) LICP is still wrong positioned though, it's still 500m southern then the real position and that disturbes a lot the buildings' positioning in the town, because this little airport is right in the middle of the town, and 500 meters are a lot in such a scenario :-) If you can show some sort of definitive proof that the location is wrong, please send corrections to Robin Peel so that this can eventually get fixed in FG. http://x-plane.org/home/robinp/ Well, I make use of Google Earth and atlanteitaliano.it for getting aerial pictures and populate the town around LICP, both sources give same coordinates so I assume the offset is real. Do you think I can take sources like GoogleEarth as correct references for coordinates? If not, do you suggest searching elsewere (in that case I will have a bad time positioning the buildings)?
