Custom Spain and Portugal scenery
Custom scenery for the Iberian Peninsula is available. This area includes the continental territories of Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar. The project uses the data from CORINE database for the land classes, OpenStreetMap for the landmass and roads and the enhanced altitudes by Jonathan de Ferranti.
Improvements over the standard scenery
The following data sources have been used and processed to generate this scenery:
- landcover information from the CORINE program. See here for the correspondence between CORINE and FG textures. Additional cities and details were manually added, specially in Catalonia.
- landmass and coastline updated according to OpenStreetMaps data,
- digital elevation data by Jonathan de Ferranti for Canary Islands, Gredos and Picos de Europa [1],
- Road and rail information from OpenStreetMap [2].
- All airports have been compiled using v850 of apt.dat
- New airports are modeled, and many existing airports and airfields have been improved.
The creation of the scenery is still an on-going project. Additional information and temporary data files can be found at Vive FG!
Distribution
The scenery files has been divided in 10+1 zones for an efficient management of the data and updates.

Improved and new airports
All airports haven been compiled using v850 of the database. This means that the taxiways of most airports are hugely improved over the current scenery available from terrasync, which uses v810 of the airport data. Unfortunately, FlightGear still uses v810 to calculate positions and navaids, and hence some of the airports will be apparently displaced up to a hundred meters. We are still doing our best to fix this, but aircrafts and buildings may still appear in wrong positions after selecting some small airports.
In addition, many airports have been improved and a others are completely new, including their buildings, runways, taxiways and navaids. Most of the new buildings are not yet uploaded to terrasync since it still uses the old positions and elevations from v810. Some of the new starting positions are already included in the scenery files.
