The ideal texture sheet is a compromise between these two extremes - structured enough to de-emphasize landclass boundaries, not so structured as to lead to bad tiling.

Another thing to consider when extracting a texture from aerial photography is that the land may be often dusty on the photograph. That is problematic because in FGs texturing scheme we want to be able to [[http://wiki.flightgear.org/Procedural_Texturing#Dust add dust procedurally]] which only works if the base texture is sufficiently clean.

So you may have to work with an image processing software to adjust hue and contrast of a texture sheet after taking it from a photograph, and run a mapping algorithm to make sure it does not generate seams when repeated.
