edit: There is now a git repo with the work in progress scenery available on gitorious. Or, if you don't do git, you can also just download an archive from here. Either way add the resulting directory after your git pull or after unpacking the archive to your fg-scenery path...probably at front...and enjoy.
Hello again folks. With my Innsbruck scenery project going long past its intended purpose and lifetime it is finally time to take the experience, tools, enthusiasm, etc, from that project and move forward to the next evolution. I shall now be focused, as the title suggests, generating custom scenery for all of Austria. Innsbruck and its airport will still remain the major focus city for the time being, but no longer shall we be constrained to its borders. As before the land cover will be derived from the Corine data set, and with its new and more open license hopefully my efforts in that regard can be incorporated into the map server for inclusion into future default scenery. Just because my models and methods (and madness?) may not be suitable for the default scenery db, doesn't mean we can't all benefit right?
Don't expect major or exciting updates to happen too quickly, as initial stages of such things (ie processing and cleaning large data sets) isn't particularly exciting nor does it usually make for spectacular screen shots...and holidays are a coming quickly too. But to prove I'm serious and have actually started I'll add a few anyway...

Initial work done on getting the Corine land cover sorted out into some usable form. I've trimmed the data to those 1x1 degree chunks that overlap the Austria border by some amount...some 25 chunks altogether.
Oliver (aka ot-666) was kind enough to send me some documents and images describing the 'moving of the Inn' that has taken place to facilitate improvements to the runway 08. Thankfully qgis makes it fairly painless to get that imagery projected such that we can use it as reference for reflecting those changes to the land cover.
And here doing some initial editing and tweaking to make the Inn start to flow down her new path...
cheers!
