Just tonight I have finished modeling the first skyscraper in FlightGear for Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I am running FlightGear and the modeling software on an old laptop (which I am using FlightGear on solely for scenery development purposes). I downloaded the proper world scenery tile from: http://flightgear.org/Downloads/scenery-1.0.1.html I then used the ufo to fly around a bit. I did not use TerraSync. I have added a few buildings to Friday Harbor (KFHR?) and wanted to see if they showed up in the scenery. They did not. I then flew on to Seattle and I noted the scenery lacked any custom models, and the original generic skyscrapers were still in place. Finally I flew to Portland and the original generic skyscrapers were also in place. I am wondering, therefore, given the current difficulty in mass-generating new terrain from the mapserver, how difficult it would be to push what is in the current TerraSync directory out as World Scenery 1.1.0? There would be a number of new models, and I think Hawai'i would have better scenery, but it would mean there is a new scenery release which would basically coincide with the release of the new version. While those who have been using TerraSync would not notice any improvement, those who don't would notice at least 400 unique models in their scenery contributed over the course of over two years. Of course when we are ready to generate terrain from the mapserver, this would be World Scenery 2.0.0 - and the most important FlightGear scenery release for almost a decade, Cheers John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.
