From this month on, new efforts are made, including whole new handmade terrain for Manhattan. Please see if you can contribute a model or two. They don't have to be state of the art models; for a skyline mass is what counts.

=== Xplane's 8.50 data format trials in Flightgear === | |||
Some of you may know that we are using an "old" data format for airports in FG, which results in a poor visual rendering of taxiways in airports: it is currently impossible to make a round/curved taxiway, you have to use plenty of rectangular polygons to make it look like. Well, maybe one day it will be over, psadro_gm is working hard to experiment 8.50 support in FG. Have a look at the first results here : http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13240&start=30 | |||
