Run the following commands in the docker container:įor f in data/SRTM-3/*.hgt do hgtchop 3 '$' 'work/SRTM-3' doneįHSH is not available in FlightGear's apt.dat, so the airport information has to be fetched from elsewhere. The elevation data can be obtained from ViewFinderPanoramas, specifically, the SD30 and tiles cover this island.Įxtract and add to $SCENERY_BUILD_DIR/data/SRTM-3/*.hgt. Because of the -v argument (bind mount), the container can see the contents of $SCENERY_BUILD_DIR will be visible at /terragear-work/ inside the container. Once this command runs successfully, the command line will now be a 'window' into the docker container, allowing you to run the entire terragear toolchain. Next, start a docker container to access the terragear tools:ĭocker run -i -v $SCENERY_BUILD_DIR:/terragear-work/ -t flightgear/terragear:ws20 /bin/bash Run the following command to fetch the terragear toolchain: The first step is to have docker installed and accessible through the command line.

Let $SCENERY_BUILD_DIR be the directory containing all of our working files for this project. Its location is: DMS 15° 57′ 33″ S, 5° 38′ 45″ W, Decimal -5.645833 -15.959167Ī good vantage point to see progress is to start FG with the following options: Specifically, we will be building the island around Saint Helena Airport (ICAO: FHSH). We will build Saint Helena Island, an island in the Atlantic Ocean. tg-construct - Generating the final scenery.One source for such data is the XPlane gateway. Airport data: This data defines the position of runways, taxiways and other assorted airport information.One source for such data is, which is derived from OSM. For example, some point might be 'urban' class, or 'forest' class. Landclass data: This data defines what kind of 'land' is under each point in the scenery or land is.

Elevation data: This data defines how high each point in the scenery or land is.TerraGear requires three pieces of data for scenery generation:
