Just to add a note, building scenery with corine could probably be more detailed, but we will never be aware of the well known inconsistency corine has, whith each data cycle. You will find some papers about this. The give an example: we have a much more detailed classification system for Switzerland. Now this has been "translated" to corine, I guess - no, I'm sure - there are some compromises in classification. And this discussion you will find for every corine member probably. Now maybe when someone is looking to an area he/she knows very well, this inconstistency is noticable quickly. But from another point of view ... for the huge task to get more detailed scenery at europe overall the inconsistency doesnt matter that much. For me its imaginable to have more detailed custom scenery for distinct areas, digitized from scratch or using corine as a base and improving. Depends on resources. But first corine and other public sources have to be verified properly of course, and anyway wider experience using this layers for scenery creation is needed. Another question would be if it really makes sense to have more detailed and improved resources than corine for FlightGear scenery creation at all, or if this is more an interesting "side project" and somehow overstating the case. BTW. Im wondering why no one uses the new flightgear-scenery mailing list for such discussion? Does it need more promotion?
