Re: [Flightgear-devel] Re: Report on my Scenery Investigation
Hi David I have volume restrictions at my ISP and a lot of traffic to my site, so I cannot afford to put anything large there for download. If there are any volunteers, I'd be happy to send copies of my scenery for them to host. A couple of weeks ago I set up an ftp server for Curt to download a zipped version of the base package. I could do the same for your files. Since then I've put the machine back behind the firewall. set up a user account for you to upload the files and an ftp server for those who want to download. It might be a little slow; the DSL line is 768/256. Depending on the traffic I could set it up for continuous service. If you want to try a test run let me know and I'll set it up. Need to make some changes to my LAN and move the server machine from behind the firewall.

When I build new scenery from scratch, I don't see any holes around the airports. But if it's just a matter of rebuilding the scenery for the new airport objects, then I wonder why the scenery in the base package doesn't support these already? Isn't this a kind of reference scenery? Or is the new airport objects-handling still experimental and liable to changes, so that it isn't worth to bother now. The white holes around airports are not really a cool feature to be announced for the next fgfs release. ;-) I don't think that Curt has had a chance to rebuild it yet.
