In order to tell FlightGear where to find its Scenery we're currently feeding a _directory_ name (or a list of directory names) as the "Scenery Path". Other formats like OpenFlight for example are using a _file_ name as the root Scenery handle. The latter is much more common, as far as I can tell, and therefore doing the same in FlightGear as well would facilitate the transition to different Scenery formats. > And I was certainly very under-whelmed by the > lack of response on 'private' scenery generation, > although I 'know' a number who are pursuing this - > http://wiki.flightgear.org/Scenery Well, at least _I_ personally don't care about people's private scenery generation, that's simply not my area of interest. What I am trying to do is building "infrastructure" (not "scenery") which should one day permit to build all this nitfy local scenery at the same level of detail as the 'private' scenery builds do now - but in a global scale and context as opposed to what some people are doing nowadays. I know that this plan is only going to work out if the so-called "community" is willing to contribute to a more general effort - but, hey, the community gets what the community deserves ;-) Cheers, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
