Re: [Flightgear-devel] Landcover Contribution
Terrasync only downloads from the Terrasync server. If the scenery data on the Custom layer has not been placed in the Terrasync server, you will not be able to download it. I have no idea why the improved Washington, DC is not on the Terrasync server (or for that matter, the improved Rio de Janeiro, and the improved London (not CORINE)). It's been on the custom scenery layer for awhile. If I can help remedy this please let me know. Also, as you know that region of Italy you is already covered by CORINE data - it would be difficult to get more detailed with hand-created data based off LANDSAT, but please feel free to make an attempt.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Landcover Contribution
Not sure if you can get a much higher level of detail by hand drawing... I've found, downloaded and checked the Italy-Corine FlightGear scenery. Corine is great but it lacks a lot of details :-( Looks to be machine generated. My conclusion: I'm definetely gonna be able to do much better by hand!!! Btw, what's the source of the Corine dataset? Where does it all start from? A link to get more knowledge about that? -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

That's what they call remote sensing ;-) - a prominent and fast-developing topic in today's GIS world. Anyhow, I talked to a person who was involved in producing the 1990 version of CORINE and as far as I can tell there still was a lot of traditional, manual map-making work involved Cheers, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

Hi Roberto, Since I'm willing to contribute to the landscape improvement (my area is very poorly covered) I'm wondering if the informations at http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:_Create_custom_scenery are still valid. That tutorial should still work. I've updated it last year to QGIS 1.7.0, so it's supposed to work with that version ;) Feel free to ask (here or at the forum) whenever you get stuck. Would be happy to improve the article if needed. Looking forward to your scenery! Cheers, Gijs -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

Would be happy to improve the article if needed. I see ... it's straightforward :-) I followed the guide, works like a charm. As I understand, the Earth Science Data Interface does not have any elevation information. Out of curiosity: how will my custom generated shapefile be integrated with the current FlightGear scenery without that piece of information? Btw, your guide is perfect for people willing to edit totally new shapes. But what about integrating new shapes into the current scenery? There should be a paragraph explaining how to draw over an already existing scenery. What comes to my mind at first is that I miss a simple way to correct the current scenery by simply updating how the terrain is actually covered. That's my area as FlightGear Landcover-DB-VMap0: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/map/?lon=13.33004lat=38.18341zoom=12layers=0B00TFFTTFFF That's the same area as seen by Google maps: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8ll=38.142117,13.354225spn=0.204133,0.445976t=kz=12vpsrc=6 You see the huge difference? Well, just by redefining the urban/crops/forest's borders I would improve a lot the scenery resolution (and quality). Should I do that with a clean Landsat data file or maybe could I simply add new data to the current scenery? Forgive me if I result naive about that, I know little of the actual scenery generation process. -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Landcover Contribution
I don't know about the actual merge with existing scenery, other should answer that question ;) That's my area as FlightGear Landcover-DB-VMap0: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/map/?lon=13.33004lat=38.18341zoom=12layers=0B00TFFTTFFF That's the same area as seen by Google maps: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8ll=38.142117,13.354225spn=0.204133,0.445976t=kz=12vpsrc=6 And this is how it looks with CORINE from 2006: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/map/?lon=13.33004lat=38.18341zoom=12layers=000BTFFTTFFF (note that you can also view Google imgarey on the mapserver, just click the + on the right to switch between layers).

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Landcover Contribution
I don't know about the actual merge with existing scenery, other should answer that question ;) So you tell me I should simply create new shapefiles (not caring about the current scenery) and submit them to papillon81 and statto? That's my area as FlightGear Landcover-DB-VMap0: ... And this is how it looks with CORINE from 2006: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/map/?lon=13.33004lat=38.18341zoom=12layers=000BTFFTTFFF Looks fine to me. How come it's not in the World Scenery 2.6? (note that you can also view Google imgarey on the mapserver, just click the + on the right to switch between layers). Thanks for the hint. I already know that.
