Hi everyone,
I'm happy to announce the production status of the massive
shared objects positions import script.
Now, for the first time
in flight simulators history (at least AFAIK), you just have to copy/paste new
objects
lines (STG format) directly in a webform to update scenery objects all
over the world for all FG users using Terrasync. Add your email address
to be informed of the progress of the update. Import should happen soon
(let's say between 24 and 72 hours if your submission is fine, but it depends
on the poor scenery
maintainers workload!).
The address ? http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/submission/ then choose mass
import, or via the "Contribute" menu.
Please note:
1. You must only import new objects, not the whole STG file you're
working on!
2. Don't add models not present in the FG scenemodels database, nor
(yet) OBJECT_SIGN nor OBJECT_STATIC.
3. Don't add forest or other items linked to the landcover. Those items
have to
be generated based on the landcover, not on objects! The only trees
accepted will be those located within airport boundaries, for example.
4. The data you're asking for import should be based for elevation on
the
terrain shipped with FlightGear/Terrasync, and not on a terrain you
could have downloaded or compiled yourself. Else, your objects could
appear floating or sunk in the terrain in the current FG scenery...
5. Finally, the import is limited to 100 lines per submission (let's
think about the poor scenery maintainer(s)...)
6. The import is quite sensitive about the data in entry, which goes
through
quite a lot of checkings, including humans, before insertion.Finally, and
because I receive many questions about it, the import script for 3D models is
on its way, finished to approximately 90%. Be patient.
Hope you enjoy it,
