Normal map maker for X-Plane now working correctly, and properly implemented in layer generation process. Tile folder now has a proper "z_orthographic_" naming convention, data is stored in this folder. Orthos are now stored in DDS format, as opposed to jpg, which was twice as large in file size. Tile generation process completes by generating proper DSF data files for X-Plane.
X-Plane DSF file generator, X-Plane normal map generator. Normal maps can be turned on or off in defines.py . Normal map generation implemented in layergen. Nearing initial public release. Added sand and desert source material. Changed layer order for some parts.
Removed wedgen in favor of the initial code for a class that generates X-Plane scenery. Class is not yet complete, but is final piece of the toolchain.

First public release - corrected issue with forest rendering. Implemented file-in-use check when clearing cache. Zoom level 16 now being built in tilegen.py . Tiles around airports will be kept - the rest will be removed after all tile creation.

Made forest lines look much more natural, adjusted coloring of some roads and streets, corrected layering, added graphical patch files to make some natural features look more realistic.

Adjustments to building rendering, adjustments to blur of element renderings, changes to streams, adjustment to residential rendering, tweak to street and highway colors.

Implemented mechanism that can continue interrupted work to continue later at some point, or to re-generate an ortho photo. Fixed layering of small rivers/streams

Corrected residential and forest textures, fixed bug in layergen with river and stream rendering, corrected order for nature reserve and forests in defines.py .

Changed licensing model info, beginning of tilegen - the class which completes the entire degree of latitude and longitude, once all orthos have been generated
