The origin of this scene was a photo realistic area that I carried out with the help of Eddy NEURET (xpsrtm) which discovered and made possible the exploitation of satellite textures. The area available is expended as a square whose center is Paris and whose diagonal goes from Roissy (LFPG) to Versailles (LFPZ).
There after, this zone was decorated with many monuments (Castle of Versailles and Triumphal arch according to the work of Daniel Leygnat, the Louvre, Opéra Bastille, Bercy realized by Bertrand Gilot, vegetation and villages by Alain Laurent).
All this work gave an incredibly detailed scene of Paris while remaining usable. A treat for the tourists and helicopters’ fans...
