Some high-quality third-party scenery has also been released for FlightGear. However, because anyone may contribute models or terrain data to the official FlightGear scenery, third-party scenery add-ons are not as common as in other flight simulator projects. | Some high-quality third-party scenery has also been released for FlightGear.

== Status == | |||
By the end of this year (2015), the FlightGear Project's hosting for the [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/ scenemodels] database and website and the [[TerraSync]] repository will no longer be available. As a result, the FlightGear Project is searching for a replacement, even just a temporary one. The technical requirements are roughly these: | |||
* A [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL] database (with the [http://postgis.net/ PostGIS] extension) of approximately 40 GB, with capacity to expand (this is for the scenemodels database). | |||
* An Apache webserver, PHP, access to the database and the usual toolkit for hosting the scenemodels website | |||
* An SVN server with 140+ GB for the TerraSync repository. | |||
* Enough bandwith to serve the data. | |||
* One or more reverse proxies serving TerraSync requests (not much storage required, just bandwidth). | |||
If you can provide the above, are able to provide help, or have any serious ideas for a replacement, please get in touch via the [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=263629#p263629 forum topic] or the [http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/34605975/ mailing list topic] | |||
