- If you prep new terrain data, you should probably rerun the airport

generation step.

Processing VMAP0 data
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the FlightGear terrain features come from the VMAP0 data set
|
||||
available from:
|
||||
|
||||
http://geoengine.nima.mil/
|
||||
|
||||
There is a script in src/Prep/TGVPF/ called process.sh which will
|
||||
generate all the VPF data for all 4 CD's. Look at the script and
|
||||
understand what it's doing. I don't run it exactly as is because it
|
||||
takes too long to run everything at once and if something bombs in the
|
||||
middle, you generally have to start from the beginning just to be on
|
||||
the safe side and avoid duplications and other potential weirdness.
|
||||
|
||||
I usually run each CD individual and copy the data to a separate area
|
||||
when done. Then I reassemble all the VPF data in the end before
|
||||
running the final tile builder.

Processing Radio Tower data
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
I found some very detailed, very complete, very current radio tower
|
||||
data from the FCC. This even includes cell phone towers and
|
||||
individual hobbiest towers. However it only has USA coverage:
|
||||
|
||||
http://wireless.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/wtb-datadump.pl
|
||||
|
||||
I am planning on making a prep tool for this data so we can populate
|
||||
at least the USA with real radio towers at their proper elevations.
