The webform to import 3D models directly into the database is in production.

Now you can use this tool to send your models to the database which is used by [[TerraSync]]. If everything is fine and your model respects the specifications written in the foreword, then it will quickly be shipped to all FlightGear users worldwide through TerraSync. Yet another unique feature amongst the flight simulation world held by FlightGear. Thanks to Clément, Julien and Martin, for their help and support, and all of FlightGear users who showed interest and support in those tools. | ||
Already 100 3D models have been imported with this form in Shanghai, Berlin, Stuttgart, France and in the UK! See the new statistics page [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/stats.php here]. Thanks to Gijs for the new nice layout and newly introduced "object density" numbers (number of objects per 10,000 square kilomter per country). | Already 100 3D models have been imported with this form in Shanghai, Berlin, Stuttgart, France and in the UK!
