    Briliant. May i ask what you're using to pop out these buildings from Google and popping thempback into MSFS? The software I used has stopped working a couple of months ago. Is it Renderdocs and Blender etc?

    Yes, Renderdoc and Blender. Remapping to a single texture per object(s) and colour matching in Blender.

    So... as a Stopfordian (someone who lives in Stockport) flight sim enthusiast I have one comment... I bloody love that you encluded the Lanky Hill Towers where I live But it kind of seems Incomplete the you only did the two towers and not the rest of the estate.. all the low rise blocks are showing in the sim as rows of terraced houses.. PS If you could sneekly include the ASDA at the top of Lanky Hill (where I work) That would be amaze balls!! Thanks
