Does not work anymore! The download site has been removed and been replaced with something, that I have yet to understand how to use. It is still possible to go to the http://miljoegis.mim.dk/cbkort site and view Ortho photos across the ages. I have used this with Greenshoot to get earlier Ortho photos piece by piece. Happy Racing There are multiple types of data, helpful to the trackbuilder available from the Danish government. Such as DHM (The Danish Height model) and Orthophotos (airplane photos). DHM consists of LIDAR, that is LAS pointclouds compressed into LAZ files, different kinds of ASC surface models and large GEOTIFF images. I will do another tutorial on getting the Orthophotos to keep this tidy. The Danish data is downloadable from here: http://download.kortforsyningen.dk/ The requirements for using the data, is to at someplace mention the name of the dataset, the download date and where it comes from. I use this: Copyright notice Padborg Park Point cloud and Ortho photo As required, according to this site: (In Danish) http://download.kortforsyningen.dk/content/vilk%C3%A5r-og-betingelser Contains data from Geodatastyrelsen and Danske kommuner Fot-data Ekstracted lokation : Padborg Park DHM/Point cloud DLD 24/3-2016 punktsky_607_51_LAZ_UTM32-ETRS89.zip DLD 24/3-2016 punktsky_608_51_LAZ_UTM32-ETRS89.zip http://download.kortforsyningen.dk/content/geodataprodukter DLD = Download date DanTDBV D@nN (My photo and film signature) You need to register before you can download anything.

To find which files to use we go to: http://miljoegis.mim.dk/cbkort? Enter the name of your area in the search field. In some cases like Nisseringen and Jyllandsringen, that is enough. In others like Padborg park, you will need to find the adress, for the place or one close to it.

This should be enough to get you going. If you have any questions please ask and I will try my best to answer. Happy track building.
Again, thanks @DanTDBV for this info ! I can't wait to have a chance to give all these a try ! What a great time to be a track modder. I'm thinking back in the day, as an enthusiast you needed to do extensive research and even more approximation. Nowadays, even google is a good starting point - but with THIS ^^ oh man.. so cool !
