No, of course it doesn't. One year ago I have compiled some scenery for eastern Europe, using Corine and OSM. At the time, I was not quite aware of the existing infrastructure and effort to maintain a common database (like the PostGis project). Besides, there was the problem of different licenses for various datasets. If someone would like to analyse the compatibility of various licenses with the Flightgear repo, I'll gladly offer the terrain layers for inclusion in a common repository. Also, I can't reliably host the terrain file myself, and other options have some drawbacks too. Where can I find some documentation on contributing such work? For future reference, here is the forum link: http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10464 Cheers, Adrian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
