Creating an island

Featured Replies

Hi there,I know absolutely nothing about scenery design, but have been flying in FS for years. I was just wondering whether it is possible to 'create' and island.Lady Elliot island ( http://www.ladyelliot.com.au/Default.asp ) is a very small island at the very south end of the Great Barrier Reef. As you can see from the website, it has a runway through the middle. THis island is not in FS (too small I presume). I vsisted the island last summer, and would like to fly there in FS. Is it possible to make the island for FS? Or isn't it possible to add landmass? Sorry, it's just I have no idea about the capabilities of scenery design.Regards,Dan

Hello Dan,Welcome to the world of scenery design. It is very much possible to add land masses, and even islands.But, is this for FS X or FS 9? The techniques are somewhat different, but not difficult by any means.To create terrain for FS X, please see:Terrain Design for Flight Simulator Xin the Avsim libary:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fsxsd&DLID=100997Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.Good luck with your project.Best regards.Luis
