I can heartily reccomend two OpenSource packages for doing this OpenEV http://openev.sf.net OSSIM http://www.ossim.org For those into scriptable interfaces OpenEV should a treat. OSSIM is a bit more of a bear to get your head around but worth it if you want to mossaic Imagery from different sources They both have excellent shapefile support and support most of the standard raster based formats. For those on Win32 the VTerrain package has a program that can assist in automatically extracting buildings from DRGs http://www.vterrain.org/Implementation/Apps/BExtractor/index.html and another to assist in laying out the final model, roads buildings airports ect, http://www.vterrain.org/Implementation/Apps/VTBuilder/index.html Both of these programs store their results in XML files built using SimGear's EasyXML package so we should have no problem translating them Cheers Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
