My own practice map is coming along finally, I took my first test flight (in a BI-1 for speed) and it looked pretty good. My coastlines need a lot of work, as well as the rivers and I also have a 3K meter wall all around the perimeter. For now I just have a basic texture over all the land. I was very pleased with the mountains though. This actually was not the best looking part of the mountains but the other pics did not take for some reason.
A few of problems probably stem from the way I overlayed the images and then cut them down to size.(its still 500+km across) My Gimp experience is 0 but now that I know what I am doing better things should be a bit easier.
The first image is the Pyrenees and the second is a link to a very large file that was a land feature I have recognized before while studying Spanish geology, overlayed with a Google Maps image. It was pretty cool seeing a landmark like that.
