New scenery update!
Hopefully this gets everyones blessing :)
Hi Rob, hi all!
I am very glad you are such an engaged contributer to FlightGear and
have seen that you are improving your skills during the work.
But I am sorry to say - after testing your latest work - that these
textures should not be the default FlightGear textures for the next release.
1. They are not "universal" or "generic" world-wide
They might fit for US-America but absolutely not for the local area of
Northern Europe. The old textures were not best possible but fit much
more better if I compare it.
2. General quality is poorer
And the new textures are POOR IN CONTRAST especially in the areas where
the satellite made his shots through clouds. This is also the main
reason I am not satisfied. Poor contrast gives the impression of poor
color display (not "wrong" color display).
The old textures have more contrast and "better" colors.
3. Structure sizes wrong?
One can also discuss wheather the size of the displayed structures
(fields, houses) are as they should be, especially comparing the
different textures against each other.
THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME as I just take the old ones.
But the impression a newcomer to FlightGear will have at first glance is
important and therefore we should provide the new textures as an
alternative to the old ones, not as the default.
Rob, hat up for your work. But please understand that I frankly and free
tell my opinion. If something replaces really good stuff in the
FlightGear default package then it should be of higher quality than the
old materials. You have not reached this point now with your work after
my opinion.
Keep on working. Get better basic photos free from cloud disturbances
and more universal. Improve your graphic skills. Show us what you are
able to. Accept for now your textures are a good alternative but are not
able to hit the old ones.

Anyways, Thanks for everyone's input. These textures are really looking
good!
