I have issues with that. I don't really like the idea of having users going through TerraGear, cutting holes into the terrain, only to expect to see the results released in the next scenery update. But assuming we do use the current airport generator code, what format do you expect the data to be in? > We could also handle the hanger/terminal data in the airport generator > as well I would think.

The polygon-outline is available -- those SVG files are it. The only problem with them is that they are not scaled or orientated properly.
