Thanks for your compliments. The framerate was a sort of surprise to us. To be fair, first attempts were not that good, but we found a way to avoid graphic memory saturation, and Bertrand Augras models are simple enough to allow that. > Related to these sceneries I have 2 wishes: > > 1.

Your request has been redirected to Emmanuel. He claims he is not fluent enough in english, but if you can speak french, you can touch him on the french forum : http://fr.flightgear.tuxfamily.org/forum/index.php .

I made this terrain with the current status of fgsd : http://frbouvi.free.fr/flightsim/fgsd-e002n48.tar.gz Elevations were not corrected, only the position of road and rivers ( the Seine is at the right place in the center of the town ). The only intervention on elevation was to remove the hill below the Eiffel Tower. But there are still problems in the program, and it is not able to generate the whole degree chunk Cheers, -Fred -- Frédéric Bouvier http://frfoto.free.fr Photo gallery - album photo http://www.fotolia.fr/p/2278 Other photo gallery http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ FlightGear Scenery Designer ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
