The webform to import 3D models directly into the DB is in production. Now you can use this tool to send your models to the database used by Terrasync. If everything is fine and your model respects the specifications written in the foreword, then it will quickly be shipped to all FG users worldwide through [[Terrasync]]. Yet another unique feature amongst the flight simulation world held by FlightGear. Thanks to | The webform to import 3D models directly into the DB is in production.

Already 100 3D models have been imported with this form in Shangai, Berlin, Stuttgart, France and in the UK! See the statistics [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/stats.php here]. Thanks Gijs for the new nice layout. | |||

We hope to see a lot of scenes not yet available via Terrasync merge into scenemodels. Nothing is now easier, especially when used in conjunction with our Mapserver! | We hope to see a lot of scenes not yet available via Terrasync merge into scenemodels.
