Here's a JPEG of the default 172 finishing a landing roll at CYTZ
Toronto/City Centre (aka Toronto Island) with the CN Tower in the
background:

I whipped the CN Tower model and texture together in about two hours
using Blender and the Gimp.  The model uses 208 quad faces (which plib
will transform to 416 triangles, I think) and a single 64x64 RGB
texture.  We need to work hard to keep all of our special buildings in
this range whenever possible.

There is nowhere obvious to put this right now, but if anyone is
interested, I'll be happy to send the appropriate files privately.  It
will work best with the w080n40 scenery at

  http://www.randdtechnologies.com/fgfs/newScenery/world-scenery.html

which has the Leslie Spit, Centre Island, and the Lake Ontario
shoreline in general all in the right places -- the GSHHS stuff used
by the default scenery build is unusable for the Great Lakes.

The tower looks awfully lonely without Skydome beside it and the other
big downtown buildings around it, but at least Toronto looks a bit
like Toronto now.


All the best,


David
