Hi Andrew,
I've done some work on parts of the Brisbane scenery, in addition to the
airport. Stuff I've done is as follows...
- Improved waterways, including following the true banks of the Brisbane river
upstream to Goodna (created as a long lake rather than a stream/river so the
banks could be followed closely), and added Enoggera Reservoir (which was
missing from the shapefiles).
- Improved groundcover. Added a few noted parks like Orleigh park west end,
Whites Hill reserve, new farm park etc, and extended/modified the suburban
areas to better show the built up areas from Beenleigh in south to caboolture
in north and west to redbank plains (much of which was missing). Also have
started adding green corridors around things like Bulimba creek.
- 3D objects in city/surrounds. I've got a (really) rough model of the entire
Brisbane CBD, and models of Suncorp Stadium, The Gabba, existing Gateway
bridge, intl airport terminal, dom terminal, existing control tower building,
Q1 bldg on Gold Coast, Storey bridge, big Qantas hangar at YBBN...
On top of that I've greatly modified the airport layout (corrected all
taxiways/aprons/runways/GA parking etc).
I think only myself, Innis in Perth, and Scott in Sydney have got a copy of the
scenery. I've also yet to touch on the hinterlands.
If you're planning on using QGIS I can give you the shapefiles I'm using and
the project file if you'd like, to get started with the groundcover/terrain. It
was quite a process to gather all the data, modify to suit, then generate the
scenery, and it has been 6 months since I last ran terragear so my memory of
where I was at with changes is rusty... :-)
I'm not sure how creative commons affects use of data - what I've done modifies
much of that data, so it would be derivative works already.
Regards,
Chris Wilkinson, YBBN/BNE.

Subject: [Flightgear-devel] Scenery for Brisbane, Australia
I am about to do some work on the scenery around Brisbane, Australia
(and hinterland), particularly to fix some of the waterways. I just
want to check if anyone else is already doing some work on this.
If the scenery works alright, I might do some objects (bridges and
the like) as well. I won't go near Brisbane Airport, as I know
someone else is working on that.
I will be using some data from GeoSciences Australia, which is
available under the Creative Commons licence (http://
creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/au/legalcode). I can't see any
reason that I could not use their data in FlightGear scenery, but let
me know if anyone knows of any issues there.
Cheers
Andrew
