[Flightgear-devel] Unified scenery files

[David F. <dav...@ya...>]

Can we move to a system of unified scenery files? Each tile would be one 
single file containing all the unique(like specific building) textures, the 
terrain, the airports and the buildings for the area? So each tile you would 
download would be a single compressed file.

Also we need to allow the dropping of another file containing a third party 
version of a given area into the same directory, and have it's elements 
override those in the base file. This would allow someone to easily add 
buildings, before they are included in the main distro. There are a couple of 
nice scenery creation tools for MSFS so we need to try and get them to work 
with FlightGear.

P.S. Curt, flightgear.org seems to be holding up pretty well. Were there that 
many hits?
