Xplane Scenery idea

Hi guys,

Right this isn't strictly just related to just FS Economy but it will most like affect pilots who use FSE on the network. I'm proposing to create a strategy to get scenery created for all the airfields in the coverage area. Now I realise that is an awful lot of sceneries to create but I propose to split the task up between us. First job would be to formulate a list of every single airport and private strip in the coverage area. Then get a list people who are willing an able to create Xplane scenery. Thirdly would be to split up all the required sceneries between us and then keep a central store with a spreadsheet so we can tick off the ones that are done.

What do people think of this as an idea?

Soon, I will be uploading X-Plane sceneries for:

33CA
KPTV
KHJO
L72
L09

I personally will be only using standard and Openscenery objects

Here's everything in the PE coverage area. Queried from my own database, data sourced directly from the FAA and the X-Plane scenery gateway. Columns should be obvious, except "scenery_score" which is my own secret recipe to determine how "important" a facility is and "has_scenery" for if 3D scenery already exists for the facility in the X-Plane gateway. Feel free to copy it. Note that a lot of facilities are heliports.

I would highly recommend that any scenery you create should be published to the scenery gateway so that it's released in future versions of X-Plane and people don't have to go hunting for it, download it, and install it manually. Note this limits you to only using objects included with X-Plane by default, but it's still possible to create fairly accurate airport representations within that limit.

I've been slowly creating scenery for the Gateway whenever I fly somewhere that doesn't have scenery (usually in conjunction with FSE). Most are in Socal.
