Hi David,

All the world is modeled and available already for FlightGear.  So if 
you just want to fly, you don't need to build your own scenery.  If you 
have your own data, or want to do something differently, or just like to 
play with the stuff, then please, forge ahead.

I believe nurbs++ has some problems compiling with gcc-3.4.x, but 
compiles well with earlier versions of gcc.

The current flightgear scenery is built from SRTM data (which is HGT 
format).

Regards,

Curt.
