This web-based tool | This web-based tool lets you create the waypoint scripts for AI Traffic. In stead of looking up coordinates for every waypoint to add in a flightplan, you can scroll around the earth (Google Maps interface) and add waypoints from there. Every waypoint added will appear in a list of waypoints at the bottom of the screen, where the altitude, speed, on-ground, gear-down and flaps-down properties can be changed. | ||
When the waypoint is finished, it can be exported to an XML code which then can be used in an AI Scenario. | When the waypoint is finished, it can be exported to an XML code which then can be used in an AI Scenario. | ||

Our all-time favourite shader-artist, Gral, picked up yet another project. This time it is something that covers over 70% of the entire scenery and is thus of great importance in a flight simulator: water. The new shader includes more realistic wave movements and much nicer sun "reflections". The extreme goal is to have real-time reflective water, which is still a long way to go, but with Gral's latest improvements we've at least made a step into the right direction. Transatlantic or Carribean flights have never been so exiting in FlightGear! | Our all-time favourite shader-artist, Gral, picked up yet another project.
