Change the minimum latitude for the North Atlantic Islands
regional materials from 55N to 60N. This means it doesn't
cover Scotland, and therefore interfere with the united_kingdom.xml
materials.xml.
This was causing a problem in cases where united_kingdom.xml was
inheriting texture definitions, in particular Landmass.
the fixes missing from FGDATA are:
- fixing the Portuguese and Spanish islands in the Atlantic (Madeira, etc.) which had been erroneously assigned to Africa given their proximity. Now they belong to European Mediterranean region, which makes them look better
- improvements to autumn textures in Europe
- huge improvement of the airport grasses all over the world, including hi-res overlays
- matching runway shoulders for the whole globe
- Asian capitals added to list of large cities so they get more density of road lights
- Emirates region
and possibly more.
I created a substantial quantity of new work in the New Regional
Textures project and I would like to ask if anyone could review and
perhaps commit them into FGDATA. The modifications are:
- New textures and material definitions for California
- New textures and material definitions for Mexico
- New material definitions for Central America
- New textures and material definitions for Southern Europe
(Mediterranean region: Portugal, Spain, south of Italy, Greece, coast of
Balkans)
- New airport grass texture (global)
- New airport grass texture for Latin America
- New American town texture (global)
- Small improvement to grass blade textures (to better fit the airport
grass texture)
If this will be committed, we must add a note thanking the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) for the satellite images of California (
