I wonder how long it takes until someone imports the world's SRTM data into GRASS (with a networked database backend like PostGIS). I assume quite a few people not related to FlightGear already have data that could be merged. Theoretically this should be feasible - although I don't know of the amounts of data a Postgres database is able to handle. Will it work for several dozends of gigabytes .... ? I know, this is OT - but still an interesting idea, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
