Hi Martin, I sent you yesterday some new scenery models to add and I haven't paid attention to the emails on fg mailing list... For one year I'm working as a scenery modeler, I didn't know all the problems you met, and I'm deeply sorry for being so ignorant.
As a FG user, I really support the idea to have one main common scenery, because it's more convenient thanks to Terrasync and I'm sure there are a lot of people who think like this too. Flightgear is an open source project and it's a good opportunity to do that. Thank you so much for all your work and your contribution to Flightgear. You deserve some rest and as Pedro said, I also hope one day to see you come back, with new ideas. I will also join the IRC discussion about that. I stopped using it a few months ago but now, I think it's time to come back. Thank you Martin!
