'''TerraMaster''' is a graphical [[scenery]] manager that gives you a quick overview of your scenery and makes it easier to maintain that scenery. TerraMaster is a cross platform stand alone application written in Java that synchronises [[TerraSync]] scenery tiles you select with the FlightGear Scenery Database. You can delete scenery tiles if the TerraSync scenery directory takes too much space, and you can also search for airports. | '''TerraMaster''' is a graphical [[scenery]] manager that gives you a quick overview of your scenery and makes it easier to maintain that scenery.
