The scenery development of Belgium started around 2011 and stalled around 2013. Some parts of this external scenery has been pushed to TerraSync in 2015. But since 2015 nothing has been improved in TerraSync.

The author of the Belgian scenery is a great fan of ULM's, GA and helicopters. No wonder that he focus on little airfields. However, he currently work back on the massive EBBR (Brussels Airport).

Actually, most of the Belgian airports got a technical update, to match the current FlightGear requirements. (mind the elevation data, airport accuracy, optimizing of objects and textures, adding shared models to fill up the airfields...).

Some airfields, so far EBBL and EBSW, got a serious lifting since 2013 and needs testers before these data get pushed to the TerraSync server. Much more will come very soon.

Those who love military stuff would love EBBL. The EBBL military airbase is completely photo realistic textured and require a special attention to testers! This airfield is in FGFS is build like how it is in real life !

For the full list of improved airports with screenshots, see: https://github.com/dvanmosselbeen/flightgear-belgian-custom-scenery/wiki/Airports-list
However, for the moment, as the documentation is also in progress, the documentation is stored on the wiki of the projects repo. In the mean time, the documentation should move to the wiki of FlightGear.
