Hi Fred,
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 . His
nickname is heljah
Although I can read and understand French quite fluently my active
skills/knowledge of your language has gone through the years and my last
attempt to speak French during my last holidays in France 3 years ago
was a pure desaster :-/.
Therefore the link to the French forum is very valid for me but I am
also very thankful for your help and translation :-)
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
Thank you for your terrain files which do not correct the Orly-problem.
I do not know how Emmanuel fixed it (did he use 0.9.9 terrain files) but
he obviously has some nice aprons and may be also other elevations
visible in this picture

Many of these models visible on the apron (picture) are stuck into
ground on my "Orly" version. Could you please ask Emmanuel how he
managed it?
Fred, and I will use this opportunity to discuss two further points
1. FG Scenery Designer display problem:
I tried all the different precompiled versions of FGSD for Win32 but it
an irony that it displays the right way on my old Toshiba Laptop with
Pentium 233, 32 MB RAM and 1MB (!) graphic-card (useless for serious
work, I even did try it due to sloooow speed) BUT I have display
problems on my AMD 3700 with 258 MB NVidia 6600 GT graphic card.
I once asked you but you might have missed it as I placed the question
into another theme:
>>>>>THIS IS THE OLD MESSAGE ONCE AGAIN
BTW:
Fred, by the way, as you are listening:
I tried to use your new FGSD version to change the runway of EDDW which
is pretty faulty. I used the latest precompiled version from the
"Duisburg" ftp server.
The program runs up very fine, I can go to the EDDW runway and zoom in,
only when I want to use other functions, the display gets wrong.
It seems that the program wants to update the display but it is frozen,
no change with new content, you see activity in the background but at
last the old display is restored.
I don't know whether this is a problem of the precompiled version or a
bug. If you want further infos, you may contact me off-list if you want
to discuss this.
Your FGSD is really great! I observed all your contributions to CVS the
last month(s) with great respect of your activity and knowledge. Only I
cannot compile it myself under Cygwin :-(
<<<<<END OF THE OLD MESSAGE
2. French sceneries
Did you ever try to contact the very active French FLY!II group at
http://fly.simvol.org/?
They created a lot of 3d airports which theoretically could be (at least
partially) converted to FlightGear - if these guys don't see FlightGear
as some sort of *competitor* as their programmers since half a year are
very active with their own GPL licensed flightsim project FLY! legacy
http://sourceforge.net/projects/flylegacy
(Windows only).
It might also be a problem of license as they then had to give their
models away under GPL.
Just a hint, maybe this is all "old stuff" for you.
Regards
Georg
