As I mentioned in your other thread I've never messed with dynamic scenery. It always looked complicated to me & beyond my capabilities. If you're new to this may I suggest you download Airport & FS Scenery Creator & learn the basics of scenery design. Find out how to add static API macros to an existing airport or area. Then you might understand the terminology used in the various tutes.

I'm no scenery designer but do like to know how these utilities work so I can help other more talented people get started. I might check out DOD later to see if I can understand it.

Hi fm3. I downloaded DOD. From what I can make out it was originally intended for FS98, specifically to add dynamic airport traffic although the principles could be used for other purposes. It was later updated in accordance with the FS2000 Scenery SDK. Some FS2000 functions will work in FS2002 but this is not always the case. It seems the only practical way to do it would be to create the scenery in FS2000 before transferring it to FS2002. The dynamic airport traffic for which it was intended would be made redundant by the introduction of AI traffic in FS2k2 & TTools/AFCAD.

I think what you wish to do would be very ambitious for a beginner. I had a punt round & the best utility I can find developed specifically for creating FS2002 dynamic scenery macros is BusyObjects. http://www.brainon.ch/area51/brf/BusyObjects/
It comes complete with a comprehensive tute based on creating/animating the object in Gmax before importing it to Airport or FSSC. This would involve a good basic knowledge of 3d modelling/animation in Gmax & obviously some scenery design experience.

I never did figure out Gmax or I would have tried it myself. Hope my comments are some help anyway.
