Scenery generation workflow is at an advanced stage. It's fast to build. Scott was able to do UK in a matter of hours [https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37259618/]. People interested in generating scenery for the World Build, or getting their landclass or elevation work on [[Suggested custom scenery|custom scenery]] in, should start learning the tools and process. The exact VPB settings and scenery file format may change several times before the final build. But the process of getting work in to shouldn't change much for scenery creators.
