The fgfs terrain is from 90m srtm2, with vmap0 landcover use. I'd
doubt the plugin could export to something flightgear could use,
so a session with terragear would still be required (and I still
cannot build terragear, taxidraw, fgsd on Linux, and still cannot
get fgsd to work in Windows)... <sigh> :-(

I'm doubting my new YBBN taxiways will happen before Xmas, because
I cannot get fgsd to work to export the new layout I created in
taxidraw back to flightgear. Until then jets at the domestic apron
will just have to park on the grass... :-)

I've just thought of an idea for AI...there are plenty of sites on
the net that serve ADS-B data for people to look at...can a script
grab these from the net, and translate that into AI craft that in
(near) realtime represent whats in the sky? I like that idea...

Kind regards,

Chris Wilkinson, Brisbane, Australia.
