Huge leap forward in scenery modeling coming next year!

Post by ronniegj »

Check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wcegnq0UctY This product is already able to interface with Sketchup, which means if you can get close enough to take a picture, you will have all you need to create a model that can be used in flightsim, of any object, building, car, natural object etc. And you now only need the talent to create decent textures with which to paint the object, and whata you know -- new scenery objects for the sim. Will cost around $450 US plus a smart phone. Sketchup is free, as is the application needed to convert the Sketchup file for use in the sim. So, what are your thoughts? Ron
