Screenshots from the beta build of the new Maui scenery. This should be available to the public soon.|} | |||
The official FlightGear scenery land cover database now has new custom Hawai'i data. Generated from NOAA land cover data, FlightGear now has high quality coverage for six of the eight islands of Hawai'i (Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Kahoolawe). The south coast of Oahu, including Honolulu, also features incredibly accurate coastline and land cover data created Unfortunately, with the exception of Maui, the data has not yet been turned into scenery, but Maui has produced some stunning visuals so far! Hawai'i soon will be a popular scenery area for fans of both civil and military aircraft. | The official FlightGear scenery land cover database now has new custom Hawai'i data.

New landmarks are always being added to the [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org scenery object repository]. New recent landmarks include the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum in Vietnam to Carrow Road in Norfolk England, the stadium for Norwich City Football Club. Lighthouses from around the UK continue to pop up. Modelers continue to focus on airports, and there are new buildings at EDDP Leipzig, Germany; KNUQ Moffatt Field (in the default scenery!); and KJAN Jackson, Mississippi. Next time you're looking for a place to fly, keep these places in mind! | New landmarks are always being added to the [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org scenery object repository].
