A very thing about this would be that a modeller could easily see how
his/her work looks in the simulation itself; it wouldn't require
regenerating the terrain to do so.
As an aside, is there a way to travel around the scenery and look at
it other than by flying? For the purposes of inspecting how models
look etc., it's nice to be able to pick a vantage point and viewing
angle; is there anything like that in fgfs?
