Would it be helpful to report on anomolies, or errors?

Right, the airport generator does not create stopways yet.

It also allows one big advantage over other sims and that is the ability to
change the scale of the textures so terrain features like cliffs don't have
to look stretched like they do in most other sims. Of course the scenery

things wrong or is it actually the case that the airport generator
'forgot' to create these stopways ? Can anyone confirm the assumption
that the stopways are missing - for example by comparing a known 'real'
airfield with the new scenery ?
Hi Martin,
There appear to be no stopway
In case anyone is wondering, I just wanted to let you all know that I am
indeed working on the next world scenery rebuild. I am maintaining a
little blurb on my home page with status updates and ETA's for those

FlightGear has been used as an image generator on an FAA Level 3 FTD
certified simulator. I've seen people post questions who are also
working on leveraging FG as an image generator in one way

Yes, it has been used for that in other projects.

You are right that is very strange. There is something that

tracked down yet. :-( This is an extreme example so when I
Hey All,
I'm new to FlightGear, and am trying to use it as an image generator
for a simulator I'm developing...I've got it configured to take inputs
from a UDP port to fly, but I want to disable a lot of features so
that all FlightGear does is draw scenery.
In particular, I want to completely
I'm not using a YASim model...it's a net-fdm interface...I'm only
using FlightGear as a scenery generator. Anyway, I just looked at the
YASim code, and it uses environment/ground-elev-m to derive the
height above terrain, which means it will also fail using tower view.

wonder whether FlightGear at present time
would be capable to fulfill the role of a scenery generator?
Yes, I've seen such an interface for MSFS to be used with PS1, too...
I think it is *theoretically* possible, basically one would need to
disable the standard FDMs (flight dynamic models) and let
or let them go to waste.
I don't think anyone suggested there was a bug...I'm just trying to
improve performance. I'm writing a simulator that interfaces with
FlightGear, using FlightGear as the scenery generator on the same PC.
The program runs great, it's just that FlightGear gets interrupted

This is a problem with Robin's database. For some airports he ended up
with two airport entries with half the runways assigned to the first and
half the runways assigned to the second. The airport generator tools
can't handle this and the result is some missing runways or holes
I just committed a set of changes relating to environment map based
runway lighting.
One warning, right off the bat. The current runway lighting direction
vectors are completely hosed due to a bug in the terragear airport
generator (now fixed.) So your milleage may vary with the current

Right, our database does have lighitngn information, and the airport
generator honors it. If you fly around SFO with the new lighitng
you'll see an ALSF-II approach, an SSALS, and SSALR, and a couple
