The Docker image is now capable of performing almost all tasks required for building scenery:
* Fetch SRTM elevation data
* Run hgtchop
* Run terrafit
* Fetch airports and stay in sync with the x-plane gateway
* Run ogr-decode against local shapefiles or perform direct queries to a postgres database


Torsten  has sucessfully created the elevation data from SRTM1/3 for the entire globe and created a few random airports with this image. Currently, he is playing with integrating ogr-decode. The docker image gets automatically built, including building latest simgear & terragear from GIT. This build process runs directly at the docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/flightgear/terragear/builds/ (Yes: docker hub compiles simgear and terragear for us, amazing, is it?) Torsten hopes to be able to compile the a first chunk of scenery within the next couple of weeks.<ref>{{cite web
