Question!! Implementing your own photo field

[Striker]

Hi Guys,

I have owned from the first generation of Real Flight and just ordered G4. I have learned a lot form KE RF and it really helped me perfect my current flying skills and help me to learn new ones.

From the moment I saw G4, flying with it at the local hobby shop, I thought that we can add our own local flying field photos into it. I heard that it can be done and do know it's probably not an easy task for the faint hearted.

I have made mods in a few versions of RF, is there any write up anywhere from the software gurus on how to do a photo field swap?

Many thanks, your info will be greatly appreciated.

I am also interested to know if this could be done. The mrs is a photographer so this will keep her busy.

Thanks for the pointers Nemo, I actually used a panoramic scene I made a few months ago and just used the import feature under simulator and it worked.

The links and your tutorials are priceless, thanks so much for the reply :D
