From Aerosoft's website, using Google Earth (Or MS Virtual) images is now becoming a reality.

Aerosoft announce APS for FSX Professional Version

Aerosoft Photo Scenery is a strange project as we only sell you the means to create the scenery yourself.

Using APS you will download the imagery that makes the base of the scenery from servers like Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth. APS will then add specially made VFR objects (major landmarks etc), high density autogen scenery so that houses and trees are at their right location and special files to merge the scenery into the default scenery without visible edges.

Where needed we add water channels (landable for amphibians and floaters of course) and mesh where the default mesh leaves to be desired. The whole process of the scenery creation is fully automated (but will take some time, at least an hour on fast computers).

The first edition APS- Luxembourg is a free demonstration of this exciting new technology. It covers the whole city and the airport. Very soon we will start to deliver other sections that will mostly cover full cities (but other areas are also possible). You will be able to buy those for a small price and then proceed to create your own scenery!

Although the downloading of images from the servers to your computer is fully legal, sharing the resulting files is fully illegal and even the posting of images from the scenery is on the edge of illegality. We strongly advise you not to do so. It is possible that the server will not allow you to download all imagery in one session, if so just waiting 12 (or 24) hours will allow you to continue.
