[Flightgear-scenery] Top Gear Test Track scenery!

[Hans Joore]

Dear developers,



I am a fan of the show Top Gear, and I have made a realistic
drive/flight MATLAB Simulator (PAL-V Simulator) that works with
FlightGear 2.10.

It would be fantastic if someone would model the little airport of
Dunsfold, EGTD, home of the Top Gear tv program! This way I and many
other enthousiasts can race around the track like the big stars. I have
made a layout of the track in TaxiDraw (EGTD.dat) and World Editor
(EGTD_wed.dat), but am not skilled enough to export it to the FlightGear
scenery myself.

Could any of you put the track in This track/airport would be very
popular I can imagine.



With kind regards,



Hans Joore

Hi Hans (and welcome!),

nice to see PAL-V using FlightGear! As
prospective Dutch aerospace engineer (I'm in the 2nd year at TU Delft)
I've remotely followed PAL-V's progress. I would be more than happy to support you where
possible/needed.

I'll have a look at your layout this evening and if all is well I hope to send you a scenery build today.

Cheers,
Gijs

Hi Hans,

In FG there is only the main runway shown, plus a windsock at EGTD. I have thought of making the airport buildings before, but was unable to find any images of them.

If you have some, or can arrange for some to be taken, I could make it a project.

I would be interested to see your drive simulator.

Cheers,
Vic
