Terrain SDK for FS2004?

[larshgf 2]

HiTrying to read (and learn) something about the difficult art of creating/designing scenery. On Microsoft.com i found "FS2004BGLCompSDK" but I'm not able - on the Microsoft.com - to find the "Terrain SDK", to which the "FS2004BGLCompSDK" document word-file is refering. I wonder if I'm supposed to use the one for FS2002 instead?Kind RegardsLars - DK

At the moment the Fs2004 Terrain SDK is not yet released, it will probably come soon. So you can best use the Fs2002 SDK for the moment.

Thank's Arno! Can you recommend a sort of tutorial/document which explains the "in's and out's" of the different scenery-files in FS2004. What I need as a total novice on this object is an overview of these files:- how they are organised?- the data they contain?- difference between texture and scenery folders?- where are the mesh-data?- where are the landclass/texture data?- where are the navaid-data?In the same way as I fly over the Agaian Sea to learn something about the greek islands I would like to "fly over the theoretical landscape" of scenery management in FS2004. That's of course in order to sometime learn how to work with these subjects myself.Best RegardsLars - DK

Hi Lars,I don't have a real overview of all those things. If you search the forum you will find answers to some of the questions.
