Did fly over Germany and Slovenia and did not notice any issues with rivers, canals or lakes.
I'm very happy to see the smaller lakes now for VFR navigation. X-Plane had them for years already.

I suggest to add e010n40 to install/Europe.

Swamps and salines currently look like lakes - I sugesst to use a different material for swamps in future versions.

Okay, one last question (and this will seal the deal as to if I'm downloading this tonight - and sorry for all the pestering):

Does terragit have the airport ULDR (Rogachevo)? It's not in terrasync, but it looks like the layout exists in x-plane.

ninja edit: this may not be in terragit's realm, but what about Russian RSBN and PRMG navaids? Could those be added too? According to this, there's a Tu-154b with a list of RSBN stations that could be added (not sure if these are already in FG but I don't think they are).

edit 2: And more than just Pyongyang in North Korea?

e010n40 -- will do
(I am surprised if I didnt already)

1. Great to know germany and Slovenia look good.
2. Wilco-nsider different material for swamps -- If I can figure out how to classify these appart of other water sources

I agree, I am doing some VFRs and its fantastic

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

MAP: http://x-plane.cleverest.eu/

According to this map, the new terraGIT content also has:
XZK02 (non ICAO code) and ZKHM

I am working into adding a NavData directory to terraGIT. From 2016.4 beyond this will allow matching the apt.dat used to construct terrain with the apt.dat loaded by the program.
Maybe this is completed on 1 or 2 weeks.

The thing is the apt.dat globally is massive, so I created a couple of python scripts to effectively split this file into chunks, that FG2016.4 shall be able to load.

See the current build here
https://github.com/FGDATA/Navaids

If you feel experimental, copying the directory NavData into your terraGIT could make the magic,

eventually I'll push this as a submodule, so one can update or not to carry a terraGIT alternative Navaid Set.

In Piran, Slovenia I noticed an area of "mixed crop" land where OSM and real life have the mediterrain sea.

E13.57514911 N45.52912760

the same in Trieste: a cruise ship on land :-)
E13.73211709 N45.55044326

Scenery 2.0 does not have that, so I wonder what's the source of those polygons.

more feedback:

there's a big river "Lena" next to UEEE.
In scenery 2.3 it is default/forest instead of water.

there's a long terrain edge (elevation:0) near EDLS

GCLP: wrong elevation=0, correct: 24m
My project3000 objects at GCLP were at 0m , too ...hmm...
Today I ran fgelev for the project3000 objects and it worked fine.

north of KSLC I noticed some "monster waves" on the water. Scenery 2.0 does not have them.

lake alt: 1278m
waves alt: 1670m

Now this is an intriguing report :o

Thanks for all the testing. Very useful for when I set up Scenery V2.5

I see your reported locations to be all over the world... are you rastering globally? WOW
