=== Update: osgEarth Integration === | |||
{{#ev:youtube|oe0kHoEtvYA|400}} | |||
This video shows a short flight from Raron (LSTA) to Sion (LSGS) Switzerland in a Robin DR400 running in the Open source flight simulator Flightgear (http://www.flightgear.org/). Terrain scene is generated from osgEarth (http://osgearth.org/) whole earth real-time terrain streaming C++ library. The osgEarth terrain scene can be switched on/off at runtime. | |||
In this example, the imagery is streamed from ArcGis WMS (web mapping service). osgEarth supports a wide variety of streaming sources. | |||
osgEarth is currently integrated into Flightgear in a development branch for Flightgear version 2.99. The integration changes are currently submitted for approval for the next major release of Flightgear. | |||
