Jet Flight Sim Terrain

This image is an animated gif. It morphs between a scene from my jet-flight-simulator and a photograph taken from the same spot on the real Earth surface.

I am striving for accuracy in computer-generated terrain versus the real Earth.

The terrain heightmaps were acquired from the USGS website and were created during a Shuttle mission (SRTM).







Note: Original images and terrain techniques developed by Gordon. All programming and rendering was done with tools written in C/C++.
