As the title might suggest flightgear is in need of updated building scenery textures for future releases. As a run up to a development project my question is related purely to your rough location in the world and if you have access to a camera. Taking our own photographs means we can release them as CC0 /edit/ or one of the GPL /edit/ for use free of any copyright restrictions that we'd face getting photos from other sources. I can write a short tutorial on how to get a shot of what is needed / using manual camera setting etc but first things first, are you able to help contribute to improving the scenery - please answer the following questions
Questions:
1. Where are you? (eg Northern Europe / South Spain / North America / Canada / India / Hawaii / South Africa / Australia etc etc) give a city or region if you're happy to share that info.
2. Do you have access to a camera with manual settings (older manual digital cameras are fine)
3. Are you confident with the camera (I'm happy to write a short tutorial) longer lenses (zoom) to flatten perspective, know when the sun is behind the clouds
4. Bonus question (do you own, and operate legally, a drone?)
5. Have you got a copy of Gimp photo editing software?
Early stages but it would be great to know who's able to get some photographs. Don't dash out snapping just yet though.
