I did use FGSD some month ago. That was my first try in enhancing an airport and also change some particular shapes in the landscape. Last FGSD versions doesn't permit mesh editing, as manual editing isn't the purpose anymore. In fact it was quite easy to edit an existng tile with it. Fred could tell you wich version is for you. You could have a try with it. I also did test tile generation after modifing an airport, the point is to preserve nice boundaries between standard and custom tiles, and it's with this problem that I stopped my investigations. Right now I prefer having coherent tiles boundaries and good a distribution of the effort than confidential custom shapes. I'm working again on an airport, KNID, http://croo.murgl.org/fgfs/scenery/index.html and I plan to redraw the taxiway and aprons, but I won't touch the overall terrain tile definition. My concern is to see that airport included in the standard scenery ;) good luck and fun, Alexis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
