Hey Chris, Wot's the guts on this Atlas system? I've heard various
references to it but haven't played with it.
BTW you have mentioned before the Southern Alps are spectacular, AGREED!!
check out Mt Ruapehu... with a bit of snow on the top and a cater lake it'll
look really good (I found a trip from Taupo to Wanganui gave good views).
Cheers

Nice. I'd hope pilots intending to use that *would* ensure
the plans are concrete via other avenues as well. Its a wee
shame they couldn't use a better looking map system, like
Atlas, which I run next to Flightgear (so I've a moving
map display to show me where I'm flying). I use a 1920x1440
desktop, of which fgfs uses 1200x1440; Atlas uses the rest.
I also rendered my Atlas map tiles at 1024x1024 pixels with
4x AA and smooth shading. The end result of that was very
nice looking, but I will render a high-res set at 2048 square
just to give the Athlon64 a little work... :-)
Here is a screenie for Dene, of Atlas showing Marlborough and
Wellywood...
