=== Dutch windturbines === | |||
The Netherlands have ca. 1800 windturbines at the moment. Since this month, 624 of them are in FlightGear! | |||
Adding them is relatively easy. Since we have a generic windturbine model available (<tt>Models/Power/windturbine.xml</tt>), it's just a matter of finding the GPS coordinates. Some of the larger windparks list locations on their websites. Other windturbines can be positioned based on the FlightGear scenery (with [[CORINE]] data, for more accuracy), or via satellite imagery. [http://www.w-i-n-d.nl A website] from the Dutch government has a map that shows the locations of all windturbine(park)s. | |||
Locations for windturbines and other shared objects can be easily submitted via [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/submission/shared/ the new submission form], that we mentioned in last month's newsletter. | |||
