=== Creating Textures for 3D Clouds ===
As of February 2010, the FlightGear wiki now provides a fairly comprehensive introduction about creating custom and new 3D cloud textures for use in FlightGear, this will enable community members to start modifying and improving existing FlightGear cloud textures, or even create textures for completely new cloud types so that the visual FlightGear experience may become more appealing soon. Please see [[Howto: Modelling Clouds]] for details.

===TransGear Airways held its largest gathering yet===
'''TransGear Airways''' is a cross between a [[Virtual airlines|virtual airline]] and a monthly [[:Howto: Multiplayer|multiplayer]] event organized by Rob Shearman (aka "MD-Terp"). It was founded last summer as a means to bring together pilots who are interested in flying passenger transports in a simulated environment containing a moderately busy controlled airspace. It began by utilizing typed multiplayer chat messages to issue [[Air Traffic Control]] directives, but thanks to further development of [[FGCOM|FGCom]], the event has moved exclusively to voice-to-voice communication.
