simple scenery designer?

[Guest JOHNNYV]

Does anyone remember fs5?,dos?,ega?8086?,hmmm, at my age I can hardly remember my name. At anyrate lets get to the meat. I had fs5 and a few add on progams, one was Microsoft Flight Simulation Aircraft & Scenery Designer. This program was very user friendly, fly or slew to a spot, add a runway, taxiway, some buildings, landing lights, fuel marco, presto you had a airport. Is there any programs out there that are similar in operation? One other question, How can I setup parking at AFBs? I'm tired of landing my C130 only to be asked what direction I want to take off. Thanks in advance JohnnyV

Wasn't it Fs4 that has the Aircraft & Scenery Designer? :). But it is a long way back indeed.No, Fs2004 does not have such a tool. It comes with GMax to let you design 3D objects, but there is no simple slew and click tool to place them. If you are placing a few objects you can probably do it by tweaking the XML code made by GMax, or else you can try to use a tool like SceneGenX.For the parking spots (and other changes to the airport layout) you can best use AFCAD2.

Thanks for the tips Arno. We'll give it a go. I just wish there was an easier way to go. Thanks again,

Yep, Aircraft and Scenery Designer was part of FS4 - and pretty good for its time. You had a chronic limitation on max poly count for aircraft and awful bleedthrough but it didn't stop a lot of very good aircraft being made.I cut my first aircraft (DH Comet) and scenery on that program.. :)boneshttp://fsaviation.nethttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg
