FSSC - http://www.avsim.com/fsscGroundMaker - http://www.groundmaker.orgAirport - http://www.airportforwindows.comAll these three programs are freeware and should allow you to make some nice scenery. They all have some help files and for other help I would suggest you to look at this forum for example. It contains a lot of answers to previous questions.Arno

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.

Hi:If you're asking for my recommendation in scenery design tools to create your hometown airport yourself, I recommend the following programs:FS Architect 2002.The software is very easy to install and use. You can download a Freeware version for evaluation purposes, plus a commercial version 3.00 build 14 is also available. Take a peek at this Website for additional information and a feel for it's ease of use.There are other programs as well, such as Airport for Windows, SCASM, gmax and FS Scenery Creator to name a few of the better known ones. FS Scenery Creator is my pick for a very nice freeware program. All have a learning curve...I hope this helps in some small way, visit the URL below (see sig), for additional ideas and suggestions.Good luckTom G, Sr.

Can't go past those recommendations. But try all 3 and then concentrate on the one you feel most comfortable with and be prepared for a pretty steep learning curve. But also be assured that you will get a lot of support in this forum and a few others on the WWW..Tony
