Looks fantastic,
I am pretty sure the maps are public domain, they are widley used in Orbiter (e.g. Jim William's hi res earth set).

BTW - can you change the distance readout from km to miles?

[DanSteph]

I need to be sure Orbiter is freeware so it have a "non commercial" license
this is not the case for FsP... From what I have read in somes forums it's public
domain anyway mean free use for both license but I need a 100% sure answer.

BTW - can you change the distance readout from km to miles?

Sure, this is in the FAQ: if your international option are in "system us" (imperial)
in Fs2004 all the display of FsP are also in imperial (IE: lbs/miles etc etc)

Dan,

I'm happy to deliver you the information about NASA's copyright:

This paragraph talk by itself...

Dang, I'm a bit late with this I guess.

Anyway, I have a CD with all these maps already on it. Too bad I didn't know earlier - I could have sent it to you.

[Drew]

Well get cracking airliner.... i expect lots of new maps being uploaded into the 'more download' section soon

[Airliner]

Ha! It's not that - the maps that are already in FSP - They aren't copyright protected. I have a CD with the whole world on it - same as
what's in FSP now. I could have saved the trouble of contacting people about licensing, etc.

Oh well.

[crowebird]

Looks great!

Dan,

Nice, perhaps you should include them directly into the next version's package.
