I'd like to create a fictional airport and need some suggestions as to available software and other utilities I can use.

Im trying to do the same thing, except not only a fake field of my own, but updates to a existing field. I used AFCAD by Lee Swordy to load an existing airport & make changes--like gates, & assign runways, assign frequencys for ATC etc. It works fine!  I was going to use Airport for Windows to add buildings & such. I was told, by reading the forums, it was the best thing since sliced bread so I downloaded v2.60 & then the v3.0 update. Looks Powerfull, but  unfortunately the help is slim pickens & the tutorial is something I cant seem to find. It touts one but the link is dead & the support sites are all broken??? This I dont understand?  If I could find the tutorials for Airports (v2.60 or v3.0) Im sure it would do what we both want. Seems to do what we want is something that will require using a few programs. Let me know what you uncover & I will also let you know if I can find more info on Airports or if not, something else for the Airport Building.

Thanks for the link and the effort you've put into it to-date. Seached for 'flatten' and came up nada . . .

I've tried FSTflatten but was hoping there was something better (easier) to use.

Wji - I've just had a very quick go with Ground2K4 & i've managed to flatten half the hill extremely easily You need to create an LWM land polygon with G2K4.

If you manage to set up G2K4 & lay a polygon you need to  choose the following -
"Poly without shore  - >  LWM -> (tab to LWM) -> "Land" + "Altitude xxx"

You can get G2K4 from the list. If you need help setting up G2K4 I wont be around for a week so you'll either have to find someone else or wait till next wednesday! It is very easy to set up G2K4 but some people have a problem - I just don't quite have the time today!

Hope this helps!
