Hi Martin
Not intending to "flood" anything...was responding to requests to give
FGLive a go ... as a sideline found this link and thought it might be of
interest...
.. if I've caused any inconvenience, I apologise and I'll shut-up 'til
hardware is upgraded
can I still ask 098a related questions on the users list please?

To my impression the lack of detailed elevation data is definitely not
the most urgent point in the process of getting nice and VFR-suitable
Scenery for FlightGear. What we are really looking for is the
topographic data, like that one included in the add-on-package:
http://www.redbarent.com/nztopo-overview.htm
BUT: This is commercial data and the vendor will _never_ allow us to
ship this with an OpenSource project. For the southern part of NZ there
is 'free' topographic data available from the VMAP1 dataset (#47). One
day we'll be able to use this data for the FlightGear Scenery - it just
requires significant effort to merge this with the current VMAP0 data
for the rest of the world
BTW, you will be unable to avoid buying a new computer if you want to
use detailed Scenery. At the LinuxTag exhibition we had a Dual Opteron
machine equipped with an ATI X800 card, which dropped from far over 60
fps (running standalone) with standard Scenery down to below 10 fps
with detailed Scenery. Now you are already flooding the list with
comments on how slow FG runs on your PC and I doubt people will
tolerate further flood that will arise once you start running FG with
detailed Scenery ....
Martin.
