The idea is that as your C-172p takes off and flies, FG can gradually download the terrain on the horizon so by the time you get there, it's on your harddisk. Thus, if you do install the whole world, you'll be able to see ~20.000+ airports at roughly the same resolution and be able to land at all major ones. (Terrain doesn't look equally pretty everywhere, if it got personal attention by someone it looks a lot better than automatically generated and textured terrain). There's no hires patches installable around Shuttle landing sites, the resolution is similar across the world (~ 100 m feature scale around the world, ~10 m in Europe where there's CORINE landcover data) and procedural texturing generates the smallest features at around 10 cm size - regardless of where you are. The terrain mesh contains elevation and landclass data as well as major roads and airports (what you need for VFR flight) and that's all there is, where it's not installed there will be ocean. There is no basic lowres Earth like you'd get in Orbiter which you can upgrade with hires tiles close to landing sites. That's what the infrastructure is designed to handle.

I can select tiles and synchronize them but does not change a thing in FG. This one opens with a warning: "Scenery Folder is empty". I have tried TerraSync also but that seems not to be doing anything. Looking around there is only water.funny though, a few other planes seem to be parking in a distance. Then I hit "go to Airport" and I hear a crashing Sound. Now I launch FG and select Airport EDDM (Munich-Franz-Josef-Strauss). That is the path where FG installed Folders like "aircraft", "Models" etc. The installtion ended successfully and created four Folders e000n40, e000n50, e010n40, e010n50 under documents/flightgear/Scenery. I would like to fly around in Germany so I downloaded the tiles and installed them with the "add-on" Option on the "Start Flightgear" splash Screen. My Problem starts with the Installation of additional scenery. I have tweaked the graphics and the flight performance, frame rate, Resolution etc is all fine.Scenery around the Default Logan Airport is perfect.
I am using FG2017.2.1 on a Win10 machine, Saitek X52 Joystick and Saitek pedals.ĭownload and Installation went well. More pictures are here (Facebook page).I am new to flightgear and I am totally exited to have found this as I had been using MSFS until quite some years ago. The FlighTeam simulation platform includes five simulators with FlightGear, a local FGMS server and an OpenRadar station. Twelve students of the IT and Management Master degree were discover the key concepts of High Reliability Organizations (HRO) thanks to five sessions using three flight simulators (FlightGear).
