For Scenery a.k.a Terrain a.k.a mountains and rivers ;-): Download the corresponding 10x10 degrees area from the scenery download at flightgear.org. Unpack it in $FG_ROOT/Scenery/Terrain. Often $FG_ROOT is /usr/local/share/FlightGear/data I.e. $>cd /usr/local/share/FlightGear/data/Scenery/Terrain $>tar xvzf e010n50.tgz After unpacking there should be subdirs like e.g. e010n50 containing subdirs with a 1x1 degree tiling, e.g. e013n52 containing the actual terrain files (*.btg) That's all. Start up FlightGear, enjoy the afterflood... For Scenery objects a.k.a buildings: Download the scenery tiles from the FGFSDB model data base of Jon Stockill. Unpack under $FG_ROOT/Scenery/Objects. Beware that the filenames of the *.tgz archives are probably identical to the terrain ones, don't confuse the packages. A similar directory structure like in the terrain case should appear, this time containing "lots" of *.ac, *.rgb and *.xml files as the leaves. Et voila. Start up FlightGear, enjoy mankind leaving the caves... If you don't like mixing all the additional scenery with the default FG distribution, you may create as many scenery directories as you like, as long as you create the subdirs Terrain and Objects in them. You just have to tell FG of additional ones (--fg-scenery=/my/custom/dir:/default/fg/dir) My setup ist to have one scenery dir for the 'official' terrain, one for my homemade terrain, and a third for the objects from the model DB + my own. The commandline order then is homemade, official, objects HTH Thomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
