Hi,
I could use a little help from one of our aerodynamics experts.
First a little background. DIYdrones.com is a group of hobbiests with an
interest in building hobby / open-source uav's. Actual projects vary
widely, but often they are based on small electric powered foam gliders

If you scroll down a bit, you can see that someone found an AC3D model of an
easystar glider (this is a relatively cheap and small and light and slow
flying RC hobby airplane.)

When I originally added ground-use support to TerraGear many years
ago, the Canada/US Great Lakes worked fine: we simply treated the
water as a special ground use, used the DEM to get the elevation,
clipped it against the VMAP0 coastlines, and for good measure, Curt
had written code to average out

eventually to model locks, rapids, waterfalls, etc. to account for
changes in water surface elevation, but that never happened, and to be
honest, we should never have let the

In the meantime we've made a polygon set to seamlessly fill The Great
Lakes Void - which is likely going to address the issue you've
mentioned. But there are still a few other places which are presumably
affected by

Now, quite a few years later, the Great Lakes are still
broken in our default scenery, and as a result, FlightGear
looks ridiculous to any new user who comes and tries flying

Quite a few years ago we had a debate, because we had to choose
between two sets of shoreline data:
1. GSHSS was very nicely detailed (every little cove and point), but
about 1 mile off for the Great Lakes, leaving shoreline airports
either far inland or floating in the middle of a lake.
2.

Nowadays we're in the fortunate position of being able to merge land
cover data from various sources.
The foundation is still VMap0 which I've loaded into a PostGIS

First design decision I faced: There are no ailerons on the stock
version of this model, so I decided to use the aileron control to drive
the rudder so it can be flown from the joystick. Thoughts?
It's not uncommon to 'pimp' this model plane by adding ailerons. Doing

Very nice work! I remember when all land cover in FlightGear (other
than runways) was desert -- not sure why Curt picked a desert texture
(I think it had something to do with Prescott, AZ). Next, we were
able to separate land (always forest) from water. It's come a long
way since then.
