'''FlightGear NL''' is the name under which scenery is being developed for the Netherlands. | |||
The Netherlands are a country in the northwest of Europe, and has nearly 17 million inhabitants. It used to be one of the very richest country's back in the 18th century, due to the booming business of the VOC. In [[FlightGear]] it is far from attractive, since there is literally no scenery to look at. Well, except some (faulty) land usage data and a couple of runways and taxiways. That's pretty much it. We can't stand that and thus we do something about it by means of modelling buildings, bridges, enhancing the airports etc. In other words: make our country worthy of a virtual visit :-). | |||
