Caribbean Scenery Update

D-ECHO is reworking a big part of the Caribbean islands, namely

*Saba
*Montserrat
*Antigua and Barbuda
*Guadeloupe
*Dominica
*Martinique
*St Lucia
*St Vincent and Grenadines
*Barbados
*Grenada

The islands get new terrain based on OSM data and the latest airports from gateway.x-plane.com, partly reworked by D-ECHO. Parts of the big scenery update are already available, once it's considered more or less "completed", the scenery will be sent to TS (terrasync). For those wanting to use it now, here are the compiled scenery packages:

*Saint Lucia and Martinique: https://github.com/D-ECHO/Lucia_and_Martinique
*Southern Windward Islands (St Vincent, Grenadines, Barbados, Grenada): https://github.com/D-ECHO/WindwardSouth
*Guadeloupe, Dominica, Montserrat, Antigua and Barbuda: https://github.com/D-ECHO/GDAB

while the uncompiled scenery data is available here:

*Saint Lucia and Martinique: https://github.com/D-ECHO/SLaM_data
*Southern Windward Islands (St Vincent, Grenadines, Barbados, Grenada): https://github.com/D-ECHO/WWS_data
*Guadeloupe, Dominica, Montserrat, Antigua and Barbuda: https://github.com/D-ECHO/GDAB-data

FlightGear logos

If you want some graphic elements for your FlightGear-related site (such as a hangar or YouTube channel), please feel free to visit FlightGear logos for a repository of logos. And if you have some art skills, please don't hesitate to contribute with your own design creations.

Screenshots

The FlightGear project always needs screenshots, which show features that were added since the last release. These should be of good quality, especially in content and technical image properties. It is therefore recommended to use the best viable filter settings (anti-aliasing, texture sharpening, etc.). More info at Howto:Make nice screenshots.

Screenshot of the Month

Entries for this month's best screenshot can be submitted to [ this] forum topic. Be sure to see the [ first post] for participation rules. For purposes of convenience and organization, after all the entries have been submitted, a new forum topic will be started containing all shots in an easy-to-view layout. The voting will then take place there. Once the voting has finished, the best screenshot will be presented on this page. -->
