I fly over the Grand Canyon a lot and I'm often tempted to roll over, dive down and rip through the thing at low level. Now I can do it !!! Yee Haw !!!
Out of curiosity, for someone who has actually flown over the Grand Canyon - how does the map compare to reality?
I made this map mostly to educate myself in map and texture development and to find out how well the IL2 engine could render extreme terrain - I find that some things in the map came out well, but others, Wotan's Throne for instance, I can't make look like pictures I've seen. --viking
Your map is excellent. Looks just right from the perspectives that I've had. The colors on the map are more vivid than what I see on over-flights and the cliff faces are a bit rounded off but overall it's so close that it's amazing.
