New scenemodels and TerraSync hosting needed
|
Hi!
By the end of this year (2015), our current hosting of - the scenemodels database - the scenemodels website - the terrasync repository will no longer be available for use by the FlightGear project. As a result, we need a new home for those services. The technical requirements are roughly - a postgresql database (with postgis extension) of approx. 40GB and growing (scenemodels db) - apache webserver, php, access to the database and the usual toolkit for hosting the scenemodels website - a svn server with 140GB+ for the terrasync scenery - enough bandwith to serve the data - One ore more reverse proxy serving terrasync requests (not much storage required, just bandwidth) Is anybody out there able to provide a drop-in replacement? Any serious idea or offer to help is welcome. Torsten |

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.
