I have a question about this. Yesterday i visited the terragear Project website an read at the following page ( http://terragear.sourceforge.net/docs/scenery-tutorial/fg-scenery-tutorial.html ) about vmap that sentence: "This dataset (formerly known as the Digital Chart of the World) contains non-airport vector data for all of North America, including landmass (shorelines), lakes, rivers, cities, towns, roads, railroads, rivers, landcover, and many other coverages that we are not using yet." Now my question is, why are you don't using those vmap data? And if you use those, at what detail do you use them? At maximum detail: everything the vmap data gives or lower details to save framerates or internet hosting costs? I also visited the the FlightGear Scenery Designer Home Page which is for creating excat sceneries but the terragear website says: "TerraGear generates FlightGear scenery automatically from free, publicly-available geographical datasets: you do not have to (and are currently not able to) paint roads, rivers, and so forth by hand." So my question is when i don't have to create those things by hand because vmap data is available and accurate enough why do i need that Scenery Designer to modify the landscape? (That i need it for buildings too is obvious, that's not what i mean) Or other question, are the vmap data (especially Areas over Europ) not accurate enough so that i have to use the Scenery Designer and edit the landscape by hand? (like on those screenshots: http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html) > Good source of information about Sky Scrapers are here : > http://skyscrapers.com > http://skyscraperpage.com Thanks for the link. > Their would be a problem of hosting those models that don't fit > in the base package. So if i edit some sceneries does that mean that they wouldn't be added to the additional scenery data? http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/world-scenery.html Best Regards, Oliver C. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
