Yeah I have it. Works great and the tutorials are great. Wink
All their program does is convert the files everything else is in the misson builder.

I still can't believe that they released a free program Grin

"I still can't believe that they released a free program"
I can.
Abacuspub is one of the most reputable addon suppliers in cyberspace so it doesn't surprise me they act like one of the most reputable addon suppliers in cyberspace.
I've purchased several Abacus products online and when my harddrive got wiped, they re-issued ALL my payware products.
It seems ot me we hear a lot online about the bad-guys; maybe it's time to hear more about the good-guys.
P.S. The FSX S-Shorcut was created by Peter Jacobson
From Abacus website:
"Why Free?
By designing scenery using the method that we've outlined, the capable Object Placement Tool is doing most of the work. Peter Jacobson's Scenery Shortcut cleverly converts the mission data into a true FSX scenery file. As mentioned earlier, one of our goals was to find an easy way to build new scenery. We think we've met our goal and want to share these techniques for you to use."
P.P.S. My FSX installation of Scenery Shortcut works real good and seems to last a long time.
