''It's all work in progress, and not yet available in the official FlightGear scenery (nor TerraSync). But of course, it's licensed under GNU GPL v2 and its goal is to be included into the official scenery, or at least stay GPL'ed. If you are curious you can look at the work in progress which is [https://gitorious.org/dvanmosselbeen/flightgear-custom-scenery available through Git]''


''It's all about work in progress stuff, and stuff not directly available into the fgfs tree (nor terragear).

Due to it's proximity, the EBBR project includes not only EBBR itself, but also the neighbouring Grimbergen (EBGB), Brussels South (EBCI) and some little stuff here and there around Brussels. As we should recognise, Belgium isn't that big however, EBBR is a big, well organized, high traffic airport and also a key airport in Europe. The EBBR is a simple, but efficient airport with lot's of other little cool to-visit airfields around there. It could be a nice place for some touristic trips with a little aircraft.

It includes the highways, rivers and much more accurate elevation and urban data. It just improves the overal graphics and makes the are look simply amazing!
