But if it's just a matter of rebuilding the scenery for the "new airport objects", then I wonder why the scenery in the base package doesn't support these already? Isn't this a kind of reference scenery? Or is the "new airport objects"-handling still experimental and liable to changes, so that it isn't worth to bother now. The white holes around airports are not really a cool feature to be announced for the next fgfs release. ;-) m. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

The problem is that the new airport objects (with lighting) don't always fit exactly into the old holes. When I build new scenery from scratch, I don't see any holes around the airports.

I'd be happy to supply my own, but I make different tradeoffs than Curt -- I add roads, rivers, railroads, and small towns, villages, and lakes, but I build with with a minimum angle of 0 so there are occasional artifacts in hilly terrain; I also use vmap0 for almost everything, including coastlines and land-use.

Hmm, It would be nice if you could put your generated scenery somewhere so people could spot thr difference (and maybe make a vote afterwards).

If there > are any volunteers, I'd be happy to send copies of my scenery for them > to host. > A couple of weeks ago I set up an ftp server for Curt to download a zipped version of the base package. I could do the same for your files. Since then I've put the machine back behind the firewall. set up a user account for you to upload the files and an ftp server for those who want to download. It might be a little slow; the DSL line is 768/256. Depending on the traffic I could set it up for continuous service. If you want to try a test run let me know and I'll set it up. Need to make some changes to my LAN and move the server machine from behind the firewall.

I'd be worried about swamping your line if, say, 50 users all tried to download the scenery. We should see if we can find someone with a fatter pipe.
