The good old rule still applies: Programming comes before testing - and designing comes before programming ;-) I suspect that the first guinea pigs for early testing of terrain improvements are going to be those who've been in some way supportive to this effort.

Hi guys/gals
Talking about high res DEM, have you guys noticed there is new 30 m (= 1
arc sec, I guess) world wide Aster DEM dataset available?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Waterfalls
It is a little old, but it never hurts to refresh the memory... :-) TanDEM-X is the data to look for in the near future. This mission when complete will have created a worldwide DEM that conforms to DTED level 3, providing a DEM with about a 12 metre point spacing, and vertical accuracy of better than 2 metres. Preliminary 3D images rendered from the data that has already been collected look simply stunning. I'd love to be the guinea pig to experiment with high-res terrain in fgfs, although I'm not a programmer. I'll have a high-end hex core PC soon, which I'm sure could be put to good use testing modified terragear to create high-res terrain... Regards, Chris Wilkinson, YBBN/BNE.

[Flightgear-devel] Waterfalls
I'm trying to figure out the best way to model the Rheinfall in Switzerland for an upcoming scenery project. There is no land cover layer for waterfalls. A fountain-like particulate model may work but there are problems with creating terrain-like models. What is the best way to go about this?
