I was just wondering what techniques Microsoft flight sim uses to produce a realistic simulation of the ground , apparently overlaying aerial photographs over the terrain and changing the resolution of the image depending on camera distance.

Would the techniques described in this tutorial be applicable to creating a program like FS ?
