I see ... it's straightforward :-) I followed the guide, works like a charm. As I understand, the Earth Science Data Interface does not have any elevation information. Out of curiosity: how will my custom generated shapefile be integrated with the current FlightGear scenery without that piece of information? -------------------- Btw, your guide is perfect for people willing to edit totally new shapes. But what about integrating new shapes into the current scenery? There should be a paragraph explaining how to "draw" over an already existing scenery. What comes to my mind at first is that I miss a simple way to "correct" the current scenery by simply updating how the terrain is actually covered. That's my area as FlightGear Landcover-DB-VMap0: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/map/?lon=13.33004&lat=38.18341&zoom=12&layers=0B000000TFFTFFFFTFFFFFFF That's the same area as seen by Google maps: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=38.142117,13.354225&spn=0.204133,0.445976&t=k&z=12&vpsrc=6 You see the huge difference? Well, just by redefining the urban/crops/forest's borders I would improve a lot the scenery resolution (and quality). Should I do that with a clean Landsat data file or maybe could I simply add new data to the current scenery? Forgive me if I result naive about that, I know little of the actual scenery generation process. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
