In a similar fashion like Switzerland there is now a highly detailed open source dataset available for all the buildings in The Netherlands. It is the result of a project of TU Delft, a big (aviation) technology university in the Netherlands. https://3dbag.nl/en/viewer LOD 2.2 as they call it even contains the info on sloped roofs for example. Probably too late for this data to be included in the upcoming World Update but maybe at a later stage... Regards, Sylvain -
Hi all— if you're a weirdo like me and prefer to work with the command line, you may be interested in this suite of CLI tools I've made for flight sim planning, called Icarus. DL link: https://github.com/musurca/Icarus Using Icarus from the command line, you can: * quickly pull up information about runways, navaids, LOC/DME freqs, etc. * download all published charts for an airport * get a current METAR * get a correct magnetic heading and distance from one navaid to another * download and decode/expand airport remarks * find the shortest route between two points, given the maximum range of your aircraft * calculate wind aloft * etc. I started putting this together a few months ago for my own use, but as it expanded I decided to make it available for everyone. If you end up using it, let me know what you think! Comments / suggestions always welcome.

Hello! I try to understand why the freewares that are around of Flight Simulator, as many exposes its source code, do not declare open source licenses. There are many scripts to run a same aircraft, and all the works, if were managed publicly in a version control system, Git repositories at GitHub, for example, it would be much better. Perhaps the fact of we are using Microsoft's closed APIs is a disincentive to look for a suitable license model. But I'm sure you can find it. There is the possibility of the Microsoft have interest in guide us about. Projects are already scattered around and she just needs to get more involved with them, taking the opportunity to make her open source marketing. What is my purpose with this topic? Do note that many individual development efforts exists and are being underused by the community. Failure to use licensing and of processes for efficient collaboration in coding are, in my view, the two main impediments. Sending codes in a forum is hugely disadvantageous if compared to having a open projects on GitHub. Projects for which I have looked when thinking these observations: LINDA, FSUIPC, SPAD and some Lua scripts for the aircraft Jetstream 41. Sorry my poor english. I speak portuguese natively.

Hi all I just wanted to share with you the liveries I have painted to celebrate Firefox 10 anniversary. I am flying round the world right now with a few friends who also downloaded the liveries. We have posted a few pictures on Facebook and Twitter. I am not a professional painter but just a passionate open source freak and a FS enthusiast since the early days. SO forgive my amateur naivety and enjoy. Cheers all. Please delete duplicate (Server error)
