I haven't found any useful (custom) detailed scenery for LOWW and have recently started to 3D model the major airport buildings from openstreetmap building footprints. I plan to go forward to enrich these with detailed objects and texture the buildings with own photographs, if nobody else is working on the same things..?
I can't consider myself a contributor because I haven't contributed anything but I've downloaded 1GB of Vienna area imagery (Schwechat in the middle) from Sentinel-2 and trying to prepare it for use in FG. It could take me weeks or months because I just started learning and I'm only at the stage of discovering how much I don't know. And I can only work on this in the evening / night.
I don't know what to do with these geo-coded TIFFs, how to stitch and split them (the tiles in FG are not the same as the tiles in Sentinel Mosaic Hub app), no clue how to convert them to DDS (is it even possible?). Banging my head against the wall basically, but if I succeed, we could combine real world photography with 3 modeling and make a beautiful airport - completely legal to share with the community.
In addition to my not-so-good image collection, there is also this article:
Visually appealing mosaics for Austria, Germany, and Slovenia now available through WMS. Images have the same resolution but appear much cleaner and with more natural colours because of better pixel compositing algorithm (or so would the Germans have us believe).
