Oh, DC scenery, one of the many things i'd like to do if I ever get
around to it (health permitting) 8-) I even got a gps to plot
buildings' locations... just was never able to do anything.
Back at least 5 years ago when I was flying XPl*ne, I could fly off
33 (?) at DCA and overfly a beautifully rendered pentagon and rosslyn/
key bridge. Since I was 'flying' an a-10 warthog, I'd take it up to
martin state outside baltimore where there's an airguard a-10 unit.
I think that the capital beltway (495) and 270/70 were there, but the
potomac and roosevelt island would allow even the slowest to
recognize where they are, right? 8-) I think there's a white house
and capital also in that scenery, but I never went that way -- flight
restrictions 8-) -- even then!
Perhaps the signs script that's been discussed previously on
flightgear-devel would help your customers identify the local scenery
also.
I might have added a Washington, DC scenery package to xpla*e. I must
have, right?, because FlightGear and XPla*e share the same scenery,
don't they?
Jeppesen charts (KDCA arrivals) mention the american legion bridge
(about 10 dme from kdca), chain bridge (around 6 dme), key bridge and
roosevelt bridge (around 3 dme), then arlington, george mason and
rochambeau. from the south, you'd seee the woodrow wilson bridge, a
power plant and a masonic temple. Don't forget the Washington, DC
Metropolitan Area Special Flight Rules Area, the area around thurmont
(camp david) is also restricted...
you'd get a lot more from the washington sectional aeronautical chart
and the VFR terminal area chart Baltimore-Washinton, available at
your local airpark 8-)
Is it possible for an end user to add xpla*e washington, DC scenery
into flightgear (if the license agreement permits). What steps would
be involved?
PLEASE make your scenery changes available to others. I'd be very
grateful.
thanks!
