#FLIGHTGEAR WORLD SCENERY TORRENT SOFTWARE#

In most cases, automating point 1 via software for end users would probably not be allowed.

You can then use that privately as you wish.

#FLIGHTGEAR WORLD SCENERY TORRENT LICENSE#

If you can download it from a legitimate website, the license likely allows you to make a local copy (which is what happens in your RAM when you view the imagery).

Firstly this depends on the copyright licensing of the satellite imagery.This is complicated and it all depends on the licensing: Wouldn't this be compatible with our license? I would then try to edit them to a couple seasonal sets and correct for shadows and the like then use them for the base texture for my Kansas scenery keeping the tile structure in tact.

A torrent might be an ok option for a few power users on the forum if it's not too big of a change to maintain, but it might not scale - assuming there's sources with enough resolution to not look completely terrible at least for some parts of the world.ĪIUI licensing issues with photoscenery can't be worked around using torrents as that's still distributing specifically for use with FG(?), so people hosting the torrents are liable. FG might only have lower res satellite imagery that is smaller - but then it will look even worse. Even with the terrible detail downloads hit 50mbps or 6 Megabytes/s flying subsonic craft over terrain with water (download might include scenery objects, but FG will have global building coverage to download too).

It would be simpler if some deal was struck with google for bandwidth in exchange for recognition on the splash screen along the lines of my suggestion on the list.įor photoscenery server bandwidth demands might be greater? Microsoft's sim has terrible texture detail under the trees/buildings - this was censored by NDAs, taking even the slightest leaked video offline on youtube, and cherry picking beta access screenshots (to see examples run cursor along the timeline of youtube videos of terrain without trees like this to see thumbnails showing when the camera gets close to terrain near mountains etc.). Not sure how well that would scale even for regular non-photo scenery, but the smaller size might mean the few people with always-on computers, and lots of upload bandwidth, could handle the load. That might work if enough people are willing/able to host, but that means running the host process in the background, and maybe leaving the computer on unattended (?) - a lot of the 10k people downloading on sourceforge every week probably don't leave computers on unattended. most people suggest to integrate a torrent library (like rtorrent), rather than running a standalone torrent client just for fgfs (4) I have a recent personal life/job change that limits my time to create and ship FlightGear products. (3) Internet availability and speed continues to improve around the world. (2) FlightGear now makes it so easy to access the entire world scenery and browse/install aircraft right inside the program.

#FLIGHTGEAR WORLD SCENERY TORRENT FREE#

(1) FlightGear has always been a free download the store’s main purpose was to be a service to those with slow/expensive internet.

The forum and wiki can be great resources for learning more about what resources and tricks are available to make FlightGear look and run it’s best.įor several reasons I am removing the FlightGear program stock from the FlightGear store and essentially shutting the doors for now.

In addition, you can check around online for additional 3rd party aircraft.

Inside the FlightGear launcher you can browse, download, install, and fly any of the available aircraft.

Once FlightGear is installed you can turn on “terrasync” to automatically download the newest world scenery as you visit new areas.
