Hi,

You can try GMAX 1.2 and even Airport for Windows has a version for FS2004.
See also you have installed the program the wright way and put all the needed plugins in the directory.
Look also at the site of www.fsscenery.org ?

This is what I use -

AFCAD2 - Airport ground [Taxiways, aprons, parking etc]
Ground2k4 - Airfield polygon underlay [VTP2, LWM flattens, roads etc]
Gmax - Objects & buildings [with option of animated hangar doors & other interesting stuff!]
ObplacerXML - place your gmax objects
EZ-Landclass - surrounding area ground textures [landclass]

Op,  Never used Sbuilder so can't on this particular problem but :

don't give up as FS2002 is only going to become more obselette and designing just for this will limit the people who will be able to enjoy the scenery you create.

I used FSDSv2 and FSSC etc to do my first RAF Leeming project but have not moved onto use:

AFCAD2 - Airport ground [Taxiways, aprons, parking etc]
Ground2k4 -  with Birdmans help
Gmax - Objects & buildings
ObplacerXML - place your gmax objects

AFCAD2 is very easy to use, I managed to get the basics in no time.

Gmax takes more time but work through the tutorials and you will find in no time you are creating models like this HAS with animated doors:

...

Obplacer is as easy as it comes and I think it makes macro placement easier than FSSC etc.  You can also use FS library objetcs so you do have to everything yourself

Stick in there and in a few weeks you will be glad you did.

PS  You can do it a bit at a time, My RAF Leeming V2 to uses AFCAD2, FSDSv2 macros and FSSC. See Bird's Video
