The complaint was not about being able to have customized scenery. The complaint was that there is no way of customized scenery to become part of the standard scenery. That way everyone could share the joy of nicely modelled local sceneries, not just the original creator. I'm sure a lot of people here are willing to contribute their scenery enhancements (copyrights permitting), but currently just can't do it. This was the reason to create a Shapefile (being a standard format in the GIS communities) Scenery DB in the first place. As long as FGSD has no support for these (or similar) formats, there is no way to merge different contributions. That's why Martin noted that FGSD probably MAY be a dead end regarding terrain modelling.
