 Hi Georg, I think you are being overly strict in the interpretation.
 
 The Flightgear project currently distributes maps generated from Public

 uses Public Domain data to generate it's maps, so you are free to do 
 what you want with the data. Any modifications you do to the data is you 
 own derived work which you can distribute as you like.

It's not public domain.

 But if you feel that there is a conflict between the Creative Commons 
 license and the GPL, then you should consider distributing the OSM based 
 scenery as Creative Commons.

Well since the tools aren't really up to the job of building scenery 
without flaws yet it's not really an issue. The license is likely to be 
changing in the near future anyway, so it's pointless worrying about 
this sort of thing until the new license is available anyway, and having 
spoken to Steve Coast about FlightGear he thought the resulting scenery 
was pretty cool, and it's not the sort of thing he'd want to prevent - 
FlightGear is actually the first entry on the Neat Stuff page on the

 Make sure you are linking against plibpuaux from plib 1.8.5.
 Apparently you have headers for 1.8.5, because otherwise you'd have
 run into trouble earlier. So your link command is either missing
 -lplibpuaux or you have old plib 1.8.4 somewhere and fg is picking
 that up.

Because for some reason i need the Plib 1.8.4 (in my /usr path), I did build 
1.8.5 in /usr/local.

Right, i did not take care that  = -with-plib=Path = was necessary with 
Flightfear too, i thought it was only in use by Simgear.

Everyday i learn, :)   

Well, i will test it next week

Cheers

Hi Rob and Jon,

thank you for your answers which inspire myself with confidence that not 
all is lost :-) - I got a private mail with the same tenor, too.

Selected OSM data from Europe (as other parts of the world are behind) 
for the common FlightGear scenery could improve the VFR flight training 
environment a lot (even at times of GPS a cross-checking the old VFR 
chart is not that bad idea - especially not when the electronic wizard 
fails surprisingly - this is garanteed not theoretical!).

Ok, so hopefully OSM data collectors are busy and FlightGear scenery 
generation can handle the selection process sometime ..

Regards
Georg EDDW

Well I know I've been busy - as you can see here:

Yes, the tools are being worked on - it's just a slow process - most 
people seem to be scared of terragear :-)
