then I'll say, if the sand if kind of homogenous, use a screenshot to measure the width on meters, and go for it :D
A perfectly homogeneous sand is unlikely, but "if it can happen, it will"

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

It seems to me this depends a lot on who you ask.

I know it inside /out; I know its power and its weaknesses.
And in my opinion, It is way much powerful than terrasync and the "scenery database" -- as a matter of fact the "scenery database" now comes as an ill tasting joke.

Saying, this, from me, really means, that it is a pity that the core developers don't see it, and as the classical blind, has more acute audition than sight: and they keep listening to Thorsten.

I think FGMEMBERS and FGMEMBERS-TERRAGIT should be -- for the benefit of the users-- be implemented officially, rather now.

Best,

IM-RAN by PM to IAHM-COL wrote:You stated that OSM was a python software. But when I logged in I was able to easily edit the buildings and create other buildings. :shock: I maybe mistaken, you might probablybe talking about something else. Does FG take the data directly from oepnstreetmap.org or from any other sources?


I am very sorry, I misled you.
You are correct. You can modify OpenStreetMap (OSM) and submit your changes to their site for better OSM-mapping. The content has a license they made, but it is GPL compatible
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map

OSM2City is a python compiler that takes OSM data and makes it FG compatible.
That software is not clearly GPL (the author disregarded adding a license file, suggesting it is All rights reserved python file)
This means we cant modify it and distribute changes on it legally.
But since you are talking about making improvements for OSM. sure,
We can mod those improvements from the map to FG.

we're not talking about white gaps between tiles... we're talking about the shearing where some land is raised or dropped compared to the land around it...

edit: shearing like this in your photo (which i've converted to jpg so others can more easily see the image)

WSAT is impossible due to a lack of proper imagery. WEDBING is too cloudy to use.
