Great to hear that you're so motivated. I hope it stays that way once you have started! ;-) > I have to admit that at the moment, I have not the slightest idea about any > coordinates and stuff, but I'm willed to learn :). Although I'm a bit skeptical about whether I like the concept at all or not, there's no better way of finding out than trying. ;-) I can assure you that I will provide support to you with everything I learned about scenery design, file formats and coordinate systems in the FlightGear world. I will not be able to assist you much in coding, and specifically not in the area of 3D programming, but I will try to do my very best to help you being successful in the areas I can help with.

The .btg-file-format is not well extensible (and probably will not be needed anymore anyway with your approach), so I wouldn't integrate this data into the btg or stg files. You don't seem to be thinking about something like that anyway, so this is merely a note from my side.
