Scenery Updated!
Now includes Mark Akermann's updates to Glaicer, Snow, and Packice. :)
I'll currently looking at changing the hue to the forest textures to match the nothern european area. Mine seems to be a bit too emerald, and I think would be acceptable to make them a little darker.

For starter, I think it would be best to switch to a more mature rendering

There seems to be a problem with terrain following:
- the keyboard binding (Ctrl-t) uses "terrain-follow"
- the AP dialog uses "agl-hold"
- half of the aircraft use "terrain-follow"
- the other half uses "agl-hold"
- Generic/generic-autopilot.xml uses "agl-hold"

Oh, that. It does do that, at least mine does that, in fact there is a

The weather changes at random spots between the middle marker and
halfway down the runway based on how fast the metar data comes off the

For example Dyce EGPD to Edinburgh EGPH does not take 1 hour and if you look

Yes real weather on ..

So you mean to say if i fly from EGPD to EGPH once im near EGPH FG will D/L a

I recently tried to steer the A320 on the ground, it was nearly
impossible. AJ pointed out that the max-steer angle was set to 5 deg,
while that of the 737 for example is 35.
I don't know if it's a typo or not but changing it to 35 makes the A320
steerable again. I'm not sure if it's the correct va
