Hope that someone can help me with this. Just bought a mainland SIM and I want to get, at the least, a picture of the full sim (kinda like the minimap or map) so that I can translate to papar where the shores are, and more or less the land height variations. Optimal would be something that showed elevation changes as well. Need to get this so I can design what I'm going to do on paper before I begin messing around.

I thought about using a screen shot for the Map, but this still shows an older view when the sim was different to where it is now, and I know that it can take weeks before it is updated. Tried to just zoom the camera out to take a high level view .. but the clouds got in the way.

So .. any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated!

Easy. Increase draw distance in Options and disable cloud view in the Advance Client controls.

Thanks Calveen .... figured there had to be a place to turn off the clouds but I hadn't been able to find it. Knowing that it was on the Client menu I was then able to find it.
