Well, it can all be done with FSSC (just check the tutorials).

Here's a few shots of a mountain created with TerrainTools2002, which looks really cool if you ask me.

Whoops!

Man, do I feel stupid! Oh, well . . . Roll Eyes

So I don't get what the problem is . . .

I would start out using FSSC to create the actual island, and then edit that with TerrainTool2002 to create the mountains.

You will need to use something like LWMDraw to create the island so you get proper shorelines with surf etc You can't just use something like FSSC I'm afraid.

Then you have to build on it with the mesh creator as you did before.

Sorry I don't have the time to help more but LWMDraw is simple enough to use if you read and do the tute.

Aha, i suspected as much, FSSC was working ok to do the island, but shorlines were my big concern. FSSC couldn't make an island with default FS landclass, so i tried out Coast line maker, within a few hours, i had all the LWM, and VTP stuff figured out. The problem was i couldn't connect VTP points, thus an LWM polygon could not be filled in properly to my island.

I'll give this LWMdraw a go, shouldn't be too hard if i pay attention to the tutorials, help, etc.

Thanks guys

Mike

Sorry Mike - this doesn't have anything to do with the topic. Do you think it may be possible to reduce the size of your sig? Its just its quite large!

I second that suggestion. Please Mike... look - it takes up the equivalent of 10 posts by me.

Mike Mike oh Mike

What's with you? Someone needs to tell ya - your signature is a pain in the ass - and so are you when you can't take reasonable comments from other members on the forum.

This is THE last time you ever get a response from me in one of your threads matey.

Mike you're an obnoxious little t*rd who does little to add to these forums IMHO.

You should have left a few weeks ago when you said you were going to. You wouldn't have been much missed.

Hope you can solve all your problems yourself in the future as I for one won't be crossing the road to help you. And if all the other people you've been rude to on the forums do the same any posting from you will be met with a deathly hush.

But I don't expect to see any apology from you mind. And I am not a dude you revolting little person.

How about starting again Mike?

Delete some of your old posts - Change your name, sig and anything else and have another go.

This time try to be more - well you know Wink
