Hey Scott, The Brisbane scenery thing was partly a test - some things worked well, others not so well. Next will be to rebuild Australasia. My goal is to use better data for rivers, lakes, roads, rail, and modify landcover to match local features like parks etc. 3D buildings in all major citi

Hi there, In the experimenting I've done with my local region scenery I used vastly more accurate lake, river, road, rail, and landclass data to generate my custom scenery. The amount of disk space gobbled up by the custom scenery I built was no bigger than that taken up by the default - that s

There's a big visual problem with some airports, especially when they are next to lakes or water in the more top-drawer scenery. For an airport like Innsbruck, where the airport automatically generated grass polygon juts into the river "cs_lake", or like Honolulu or Macau, when there is a "lake

Re: [Flightgear-devel] [Atlas-devel] problem linking SimGear-2.0.0 for Atlas build

Thanks Brian and Stefan, Adding -ldl in screen Makefile.am did allow SimGear-2.0.0 to compile, but then Atlas compile failed. I actually succeeded compiling Atlas using the current git simgear. There is an issue with current Atlas. If I close Atlas by clicking the X to close the window, it
