Re: [Flightgear-devel] Waterfalls

2010-11-23 Thread Chris Wilkinson 
It is a little old, but it never hurts to refresh the memory... :-)

TanDEM-X is the data to look for in the near future. This mission when complete 
will have created a worldwide DEM that conforms to DTED level 3, providing a 
DEM 
with about a 12 metre point spacing, and vertical accuracy of better than 2 
metres. Preliminary 3D images rendered from the data that has already been 
collected look simply stunning.

I'd love to be the guinea pig to experiment with high-res terrain in fgfs, 
although I'm not a programmer. I'll have a high-end hex core PC soon, which I'm 
sure could be put to good use testing modified terragear to create high-res 
terrain...

Regards,

Chris Wilkinson, YBBN/BNE.

Hi guys/gals 

Talking about high res DEM, have you guys noticed there is new 30 m (= 1 arc 
sec, I guess) world wide Aster DEM dataset available?

If this is old news, please don't beat me up :)

It's new news to me ... that's really cool!  Looks like a much more complete
data set than SRTM.

 plus a modified "TerraGear" which is capable of processing this
high-res DEM data - if you volunteer for improving TerraGear, I'll
bring the DEM data for the waterfall  :-)

Typically this requires someone to create a suitable texture, the rest
