TerraSync is a utility that automatically downloads needed FlightGear scenery while the simulator is running.  


It is recommended to use a separate scenery directory for TerraSync (that is do not run it on your main scenery directory).
The master repository for terrasync (at least the SVN based) is automatically synchronized with the [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/ FlightGear Scenery Objects Database] so you will always have the latest scenery objects. (Note however that you might need to install the SharedModels archive from that site if the set of shared scenery objects have changed since your version of FlightGear was released to see all objects.)
 
It is recommended to use a separate scenery directory for TerraSync (that is do not run it on your main scenery directory) as network interruptions may upset the SVN synchronization protocol - if/when that happens the easiest solution is to delete the affected subdirectory and let terrasync download it again.
