Welcome to the Custom Belgian FlightGear Flight Simulator scenery wiki!

This repository contains custom GPLv2 Belgian scenery for the FlightGear Flight simulator. It mainly improve the default airports and airfields with objects but it's not limited too. For example, Brussels has a lot of buildings in this scenery :)

We invite you to take an aircraft and enjoy your flight in our little country.

For the list of improved airports in this scenery, please, see the dedicated wiki Improved Airports page.

Important note

THIS REPOSITORY IS ONLY A SORT OF TEMP BACKUP SYSTEM AND THE GOAL IS TO GET ALL MY CUSTOM MADE SCENERY FOR BELGIUM PUSHED INTO THE FLIGHTGEAR SCENERY DATABASE. SINCE MORE OR LESS APRIL 2015, THE FLIGHTGEAR SCENERY DATABASE GOT UPDATED WITH MY SCENERY. HOWEVER NOT ALL OBJECTS WHERE SYNCHRONIZED WITH THE SCENERY DATABASE. THE FLIGHTGEAR SCENERY DATABASE ALSO GOT A FEW GLITCHES ATM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. FOR NOW, THIS REPOSITORY IS THE MOST UP TO DATE BELGIAN SCENERY. FEEL FREE TO JOIN ME TO MAKE BELGIUM LOOK BETTER.

As of now, 28 March 2018, the old subversion repository [1] has been imported to GitHub. From now you can ignore the read-only repository located on Gitorious. The repository on GitHub will have the most recent version.

[1] https://gitorious.org/dvanmosselbeen/flightgear-custom-scenery/?p=dvanmosselbeen:flightgear-custom-scenery.git

At the moment, we are cleaning up things and will provide 2 repositories. One for the final scenery and a second repository with the sources files. See here for more information: https://github.com/dvanmosselbeen/flightgear-belgian-custom-scenery-src

Download

Some parts of the Belgian FGFS scenery are already available to download in-game with TerraSync. However, as the Belgian FGFS scenery is a long term project and constantly in development, and many things are outdated in TerraSync. So to make use of the latest features, you need to make use of this repository.

You can download this scenery in 2 different ways. You can download this scenery in a zip file or by using a tool which we call Git. If you don't know what Git is, then you can in first instance download the scenery as a zip file and regularly come back here to manually download the latest updates.

We strongly recommend to use this "development" version through the tool Git and to clone this git repository as this would be easier to get your local copy up to date. After all, all you want is to have the latest and greatest features. However, like this is a development version, expect that it will break at some point.

Setup

There's nothing to setup. You will only have to tell FlightGear to look up for this particular scenery. Telling FlightGear to use this scenery depend on the tools you use (if you use the graphical launcher or start up FlightGear from the command line).

On the website or the wiki of FlightGear you will find detailed information on how to tell FGFS to lookup for sceneries.
