Hier eine kleine Beschreibung:


What is FGSD ?

FGSD is an interactive program that will allow its user to design custom sceneries for the FlightGear flight simulator project.

FlightGear has already sceneries for the whole Earth ( see here ) but usually, available free data are too coarse to make realistic views of the world, especially for land outside the USA.

The process will be as follow :

1. scan topographic maps as JPEG images with your favorite scanner software,
2. import those JPEGs in fgsd as images,
3. calibrate every image by specifying 3 points where longitude, latitude and height are known. Actually fgsd supports Lambert projections I to III.
4. save each map fragment ( image path + calibration data ) to an XML file,
5. load them into the overall map,
6. import existing FlightGear sceneries for the area of interest,
7. import and place 3d objects,
8. add height points or curves to existing points,
9. delimit water, forest, fields and other areas,
10. draw roads, highways, power lines and railways,
11. save the current project to XML file for further enhancement,
12. export those data to a new, enhanced scenery.

Current status

Currently, it is possible to go from point 1 to 7 of the previous process. It is also possible to save and load one's work ( point 11 ). However, it is still work in progress and contributors are welcome.
