<div>WS3.0 also offers the opportunity for well performing ortho scenery wi=
th acceptable memory impact. merspieler has acquired GPL compatible sources=
 so we could theoretically have a demo area with ortho scenery in the first=
 WS3.0 release. It adds significant storage requirement tho (14.7GB per 1x1=
 degrees tile). There hasn't been a decision made yet, on how to proceed on=
 this.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>fli=

iv>FlightGear (FlightGear.org, FlightGear) is an open source flight simulat=
or. Since November 2013, the official scenery of the simulator makes use of=
 OSM line data. Buildings, roads, and objects for the entire world were gen=
erated and integrated into the official scenery in March 2021, creating a 3=
d visualisation of OSM data. This OSM world-scenery is automatically downlo=
aded as you fly by FlightGear 2020.3.7 LTS [1] and later.</div><div></div><=
div></div><div>Buildings, roads, power cables/pylons, railways, railway pla=
tforms, piers, and other man-made objects, as mapped in OSM, can be turned =
into 3D models for use in FlightGear scenery. This is done with a custom wr=
itten python script. More information at the FlightGear wiki.</div><div></d=
iv><div></div><div>Buildings and objects for the entire world were generate=
d for FlightGear 2020.x, and integrated into the official scenery which is =
automatically downloaded as you fly by FlightGear 2020.3.7 LTS and later.</=
div><div></div><div></div><div>Setting up FlightGear Flight Simulator is no=
t an easy thing. You can configure the basic game with low-res terrain and =
just a few aircraft relatively easily, however, if you want high-resolution=
 maps of the world and additional aircraft, you will have to work somewhat.=
 Moreover, in Linux, most official repositories are still offering the olde=
r 2.4 version, although the newer 2.8 edition has been out for some time no=
w, and 2.10 is coming around soon. I also tried the PlayDeb source, but for=
 some reason, the repository indexes were broken, and I could not find a ne=
wer version of the simulator yonder. So it's whatever the system has to off=
er, in this review, today.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Once you open th=
e main interface, you can configure the game to use TerraScenery to downloa=
d maps while you are playing. The alternative is to manually grab 10x10 deg=
ree chunks of the world from the official site. The entire world is also av=
ailable as a massive three DVD set. Anyhow, the incremental game downloads =
sound like a favorable option, but you will be bleeding your bandwidth some=
what. Just make sure the target directory actually exists, or the game will=
 fail to grab the world maps, and you will be forced to fly over RGB terrai=
n. Sad, no?</div><div></div><div></div><div>The graphics is also very reaso=
nable. This may not be the most dazzling game in the world, but it is very =
pretty and very light on resources, so you get an ultimate combination of p=
retty and attainable. Again, exploring your vast repository of planes and l=
earning that every one is that much different is so much fun. You have airc=
raft with VTOL capabilities, you have helicopters, bi-planes, seaplanes, it=
's really cool. And the more you fly, the more detailed the ground will bec=
ome, as TerraScenery grabs the new terrain data.</div><div></div><div></div=
><div>However, at the end of the day, FGFS is a challenging, tough, serious=
 simulator with an engaging gameplay and a vast multitude of aircraft, airp=
orts and beautiful real-world scenery that will be as interesting to explor=
e and test as the flight regime itself, which needs a proper joystick to en=
joy fully. I do hope the game will flourish and become more accessible to l=
ess techie players, who just might be asking for some honest physics fun.</=
div><div></div><div></div><div>See the island just in front? I changed some=
 of the scenery texture settings(region specific, global, global alternativ=
e[DDS]). That screenshot was with the default region specific settings. The=
 following are global and global DDS.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The F=
lightGear landscape covers the entire world and is downloaded as you fly. V=
isit any of the 20,000 airports with an accurate representation of airport =
buildings on many of the larger, international airports.</div><div></div><d=
iv></div><div>This evening I took my first (baby) steps into scenery design=
 for FlightGear. Having done scenery design for Microsoft Flight Simulator =
for such a long time, it takes a little time to get used to the differences=
. Let me start with the good news, in the end I was able to see my objects.=
 In this blog I will describe some of the things I came across.</div><div><=
/div><div></div><div>On the other hand there is enough room for improvement=
 of the FlightGear scenery, the default scenery reminds me of how FS looked=
 when I started to make scenery. For example, I placed an watertower near H=
oogeveen in the Netherlands and the airfield there was represented with an =
asphalt runway, while in real life it is just a grass runway. And the landc=
lass terrain scenery is also not so accurate. The second church I placed it=
 supposed to be in the city centre, not in some green fields.</div><div></d=
iv><div></div><div>* Accurate terrain worldwide, based on the most recently=
 released SRTM terrain data.) 3 arc second resolution (about 90m post spaci=
ng) for North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.</div>=
<div></div><div></div><div>* Nice scenery night lighting with ground lighti=
ng concentrated in urban areas (based on real maps) and headlights visible =
on major highways. This allows for realistic night VFR flying with the abil=
ity to spot towns and cities and follow roads.</div><div></div><div></div><=
div>Speaking of this stuff, reminds me of this dream i woke up from this mo=
rning.... I was dreaming there was something out for Win, Mac, Linux for co=
nverting MSFS stuff to x-plane. This includes the planes and the scenery.</=
div><div></div><div></div><div>I had long debate on FG forum about the nece=
ssity of designing tools for scenery and plane creation and each time I was=
 criticized for that, some saying that I should be happy to have this sim f=
or free.</div><div></div><div></div><div>FlightGear is an open-source fligh=
t simulator. It supports a variety of popular platforms (Windows, Mac, Linu=
x, etc.) and is developed by skilled volunteers from around the world. It a=
ims to create a sophisticated and open flight simulator framework for use i=
n research or academic environments, pilot training, as an industry enginee=
ring tool, for DIY-ers to pursue their favorite interesting flight simulati=
on idea, and last but certainly not least as a fun, realistic, and challeng=
