Custom Spain and Portugal scenery: Difference between revisions

In 2021, the Spanish community of FlightGear at [http://flightgear.creatuforo.com/viewtopic.php?t=3143 Vive FG!] began a project to enhance the scenario of the Iberian Peninsula. This included an enhancement of the terrain, that was still low detail at the moment the project started, new layouts for many airports and hundreds of objects spread all over the geography.

This custom scenery is no longer available. The publication of the updated [[FlightGear World Scenery 2.0]] made this custom scenery unnecessary, and most buildings were submitted to [[TerraSync]].  

The goal of the custom Iberian scenery was to greatly improve the [[World Scenery 1.0.0]] available at the time for the Iberian Peninsula. Specifically:

* Terrain compiled using the last data available from OpenStreetMap and CORINE.

Terrain files for the whole Iberian Peninsula are no longer necessary but some minor improvements are not yet in [[TerraSync]]: Airports that depend heavily on the elevation (for example, LEPO), airports already sent to the X-Plane community (for example, LEMG or LEST) after the scenery 2.0 was built, hundreds of buildings everywhere we are still uploading to [[TerraSync]] and even some non-free buildings and airports such as Ibiza-LEIB or Valencia-LEVC.

Most of the buildings and airports are free and can be downloaded from TerraSync. Unfortunately, the authors of a few of the airports did not release the buildings under an open source license. Hence, consider all buildings and textures in the project as private, and use the versions submitted to TerraSync for your opensource projects.

As a result of the project, dozens of airports were modeled. This includes large international airports, such as Madrid (LEMD) and Barcelona (LEBL), medium-size regional airports such as Reus (LERS) or Cordoba (LEBA), small airfields for general aviation such as San Luis (LESL) or Cerdanya (LECD) and tiny airfields for ultralight aircraft, such as Alfés (LEAT)

The map [https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=200770868570711495874.0004dc0d380de0bb19925&msa=0] shows the airports developed in the project. All these airports include custom buildings, some of them have enhanced runways and a few are completely new. The improved layout for most of these airports is already included in [[TerraSync]], as well as most of the custom buildings.
