Europe/France - Lyon to Marseille

I always liked going down in Google earth 3D and scrolling around. So I thought what a neat idea to use the textures of Google with the route making function of Transdem and make a route from Lyon to Marseille (about half way actually with the second half ultimately from Marseille to that last half-way point.

So this is the first leg. I'm aiming for speed rather than perfection in the making of the assets but there are multiplied numerous custom assets, night lighting, etc.

I think you'll find Google photographs are copyright so you'll need their permission to use them in this way.

I'm not selling it just personal use and free on the download station once its done. But I'll check.

I understand that Streetview photography has a VERY restrictive licence (so no DLS), but that items in the 3D warehouse are under a creative commons licence or something similar. Really you need to check...

Looks good so far BTW - I'd love to see a good TGV route.

Yeah I've posted on Google's official site the query. No one seems to know. Likely a grey area as long as ascription is plainly made but really, if anything, they can't stop my personal use. But I agree, I've sorely wanted TGV routes.

Little more on this. I got one response. Ascription is necessary of course like the top picture. Which applies to all. However, I don't have a site where I want traffic and someone could end up profiting from the traffic with these types of screenshots from the game so I would suggest other than ascription on this site which I've done it's fair use. Uploading the content would be no no without a restricted license. Using it in flight sim, train sim leaves it only implicit that as payware that is a no-no but outside of that (such as personal use) I would suggest it becomes grey.
