Terragear | Terragear uses three different kinds of information to generate scenery. | ||
# The elevation of the land (provided by SRTM) | |||
# The location and layout of airports (provided by apt.dat) | |||
# Whether a given lat/lon is sea, land, city, forest, town, road, railway (provided by VMAP0) | |||
This article describes how obtain and process each of these types of data in order, and bring it together for use by FlightGear. The order of these steps is important. For example, the airport data step needs the elevation data to determine the elevation of the airports. | |||
