Doug, as you know I've always been a fan of FSSC and I've used it to do Kai Tak

Is your Kai Tak available for download here? I have always wanted a better airport than the default. Tongue

do u think guys before long that lee swordy will update afcad to create buildings and so forth??


I doubt it  unless he is working on XML.  I'll bet FS2006 will be 100% XML scenery and I am not alone thinking that.

If I was writing stuff like this I would not waste anymore time on API generated scenery when there is a good chance it may become useless in FS2006.  If I knew how to program and wanted to be a hero to the FSing community I would try to write the first GMax MDL file to XML Object converter that works and is easy to use.  Whoever that is will get my vote as the FS hero of the decade.  Grin

I've been messing around with Terragen a bit. Can that be used for meshes?

Roger's FS9 Kai Tak is posted here.

There is also his original version for FS2002 only.

I'm not sure these are the latest versions.

Hi Doug and everyone.

Fraid they are - I'm just too busy to update them as I'd planned right now  ???


BTW Of course Lee's AFCAD will be updated to do buildings - that's the whole point of the SDK!

But I still think he'll be pipped at the post by Tom Hiscox's Airport which as version 3 is an outstanding piece of software.

If what I hear is true FS2006 will be 100% XML generated scenery which will make Airport for Windows useless.  That's why Tom has already started SceneGenX because he wants it to be ready for FS2006.

I can't see Lee wasting time on api/scasm scenery when it's a dead end. I "hope" Lee is working on XML as his stuff is always so well done.

Hello Hagar,
I've done a several scenery projects and have only used FSSC. You mentioned Airport for windows 3 is even better. How is the user interface & learning curve?I've gotten pretty comfortable with FSSC...........
