I did came across this page before, and I thought the images were too small. But tonight I tried one anyway and I am surprised about how it looks. Not too bad at all for a texture that's only 150 pixels high. I have put some sample images here: http://ivop.free.fr/fgfs/fgfs_rembrandt1.jpg http://ivop.free.fr/fgfs/fgfs_rembrandt2.jpg It's the Rembrandt Tower, the heighest building of Amsterdam (135m roof, 150m antenna). Nice how it aligns with the Amstel river, I think. The building in the front on the second image, is the Carré theatre. It's slightly misplaced, but I corrected that already and I'm too lazy to create a new screenshot :) Close up of Carré is here: http://ivop.free.fr/fgfs/ac3d_carre.jpg > I don't know if I can help with creating buildings also (although I'd > like to) but I also want to update the Dutch airfields where needed. I wanted to look into that too. For example, adding the fifth (actually sixth) runway to Schiphol. I have found some very accurate data about all six runways in 'Rijksdriehoek' coordinates and wrote a small program to convert those to WGS84. But I have no data on the taxiways and the current taxiways are a little misaligned with the new runway data I have. Maybe we can talk about it offlist and/or exchange data? > BTW.

That would be a very good idea! --Ivo _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
