FlightGear Newsletter July 2012: Difference between revisions

. You must only import new objects, not the whole STG file you're working on!

. Don't add models not present in the FG scenemodels database, nor (yet) OBJECT_SIGN nor OBJECT_STATIC.

. Don't add forest or other items linked to the landcover. Those items have to be generated based on the landcover, not on objects! The only trees accepted will be those located on airport boundaries, for example.

. The data you're asking for import should be based for elevation on the terrain shipped with FlightGear/Terrasync, and not on a terrain you could have downloaded or compiled yourself. Else, your objects could appear floating or sunk in the terrain...

. Finally, the import is limited to 100 lines per submission (let's think about the poor scenery maintainer(s)...)

. The import is quite sensitive about the data in entry, which goes through quite a lot of checkings, including humans, before insertion.
