Hi Erik First of all the various custom scenery contributors have to start to communicate with each other and making a list of custom scenery available. This list should contain sources for custom scenery development, so GPL license incompatible scenery (i.e. scenery created with cgiar or osm data) can be kept out. A lot of scenery will come with 850 airport data either, and this is still refused by the core developers (they don't want to update apt.dat in fgdata the next weeks for 2.8.0 I guess).
I tried to start a discussion about a new roadmap for scenery updates in the flightgear-scenery list, in the forums and at IRC, without that much success. Only a handful scenery developers take part, even there is some huge progress in scenery development tools. It's almost all prepared to get better world scenery at all ... but ... I guess only being a "scenery group" with a roadmap will succeed, because it does not depend on individual submissions only. So I ask you and others, please start scenery discussion in flightgear-scenery ML, make a schedule for meetings at IRC or elsewhere, start a RFC in wiki for scenery updates, a list of custom scenery projects and data available, help to compile better scenery laying around since many years (but be aware that it is not only a problem of placing some newer chunks on the main download page and make it available immediately). First question might be how scenery is distributed in general. -Yves Am 04.08.2012 um 09:59 schrieb Erik Hofman <e...@ehofman.com>: > > Hi, > > When searching for some nice scenery spots for FlightGear to download I > discovered that everything on the site still refers to the 1.0.1 scenery > that was automatically generated in 2008. > > Are new scenery projects already integrated in the download map on the > site or do I have to search elsewhere.
