Though I myself have an independent scenery project, I whole heartedly support the global scenery project. Without it, and all your hard work on it over the years, flightgear scenery would be a mere shadow of what it is today. I hope then, after a break and some rest, that you will regain your passion and motivation for the project and find a way to continue on with it..even if in a reduced capacity.
I say give no thought to people creating external scenery. As far as I have seen none of it was created out of spite towards the global scenery database, nor do I recall any of its authors saying there motivation for creating it was because they disagree with the global scenery project or have any ill will towards it. In fact the only reason I see that much of it exists is out of necessity..either due to past license issues with data...or now as a temporary measure while we wait for tools to stable up and a new global scenery generated with that data. Of course there are a few oddball projects about where people create 'exlusive' scenery objects or airports or whatever...which I don't care for personally...but those are the exception not the norm. I doubt anyone would disagree that the global scenery is by far the most important scenery project, without which fgfs scenery would be in a much worse state. However I don't believe the official global scenery project and independent scenery projects are mutually exclusive. There is a time and place for both in my opinion. best wishes..cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
