Very nice tool! I´ve got one question: Is it equal, if i put in the path of my Scenery-Directory or if i put in the path of my TerraSync-Directory?

Is it equal, if i put in the path of my Scenery-Directory or if i put in the path of my TerraSync-Directory?

I'd recommend using the TerraSync directory, since it's TerraSync scenery that's downloaded. But that's only a suggestion.

Very cool!!!
I noticed that terramaster checks out the scenery from trunk. Is there a way to tell "normal" terrasync to use trunk when syncing "on the fly"?

[Johan G]

If "trunk" is what I think it is, then yes. The scenery you download from the scenery download page is actually (very?) old, while the TerraSync scenery contains all the latest updates, like airport terminals etc.

[sgofferj]

"trunk" is one branch in the SVN repo. I did SVN co a couple of days ago and pulled the whole scenery but I'm not sure from which branch of the SVN. Anyways, now I was just playing with terramaster and it pulled a new revision with a noticeable higher revision number.
Of course, it can be that there have been many updates in the last few days .
Was just wondering.

[GearFlighter]

If i downloaded some scenery with Terramaster, and after a few months someone updated the Scenery, will this be shown in Terramaster, or are there other ways to get the updated scenery, if the few-months-old one isn´t completely actual anymore? G´

Oh, so that is how they technically do it.

...after a few months someone updated the Scenery, will this be shown in Terramaster...

As far as I know, no, unfortunately not.

...are there other ways to get the updated scenery...

I think it is as easy as syncing those regions again. I sometimes do that before multiplayer events.

I think the graphics glitch has been fixed
Added borders of nations.

I have not tested the new release yet, but I have added a TerraMaster page to the FlightGear Wiki, together with links to it on relevant pages.

WOW! Man!

This is a really useful tool! I am glad you decided writing it. And I can use it on Windows AND on OSX. Brilliant!

[Bjoern]

Trying it at the moment.

Two features I'd consider helpful for future releases:
- a progress bar and the currently downloading tile
- a "pause" (or at least "cancel operation") button

Other than that, keep at it! It's already a "must have" tool in my book!

I am unable to use Terramaster more than once
actually, once I use it, and try reopening next time, it doesn't open even after restarting my PC !
every time I need it, I have to download it.
help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Thorium

I have been running r29 for a while now. The national borders are great! Unfortunately the graphic glitches is still there.

Just started using this

I really like it.
It is very good having a visual aid for downloading and deleting.
