Photographic scenery for selected places in the US is now available at http://fgphotoscenery.square7.ch | Photographic scenery for selected places in the US is now available at http://fgphotoscenery.square7.ch . The covered regions currently include San Francisco Bay, Yosemite NP, Grand Canyon NP, Lake Powell, Sedona, Miami, Everglades NP and Key Largo. The scenery has been created from the public domain imagery courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey http://www.usgs.org, has a resolution of about 3m/pixel (10ft/pixel) and is released under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL). In total, more than 1.3GB of imagery are available. Videos of UFO flights through the photographic senery are available at http://fgphotoscenery.square7.ch#gallery. | ||
In order to be able to load the photographic scenery into flightgear, the program has to be compiled from source and a patch applied. The patch was developed by Benoît Laniel for the Brest photographic scenery. Step-by-step installation instructions can be found at http://fgphotoscenery.square7.ch#installation . | |||
