This is a great idea. What I miss most from FG and what even is not well represented in Microsoft Flight Sim, is the ability to explore the local area as in a real aircraft. I also waited for a long time for the scenery to become useful and attractive for VFR flight and visual wayfinding, which it eventually did. About three years ago, I started working on a project to enhance the area around the Chesapeake bay region. I hope to donate this data and whatever objects, traffic and airport improvements to FlightGear. I thought about setting up a website for the project, if there are enough people interested or who live in the area, to collaborate on the Chesapeake project. This is a fun area to fly and more people should give it a try. It will be especially attractive if we have ATC and multiplayer, given it is centered between several major airports and sees a lot of traffic crossing through, up and down the coast, to major urban centers and to the Atlantic track. I may not be able to work on the ground data, but will contribute what I have in scenery and interesting airports, flights, etc. Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
