Many a/c and great scenery is what draws end users to us. So that's definitely needed for the biggest part of our "customers". Other users need different things - but that doesn't matter here. Creating a/c is doable for non-techy users (although not trivial) as it doesn't require any compilation of the source code. Creating scenery is a bit different. It is possible to generate a specific scenery for a specific place - but that's generally a bad idea. We want world domination^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h coverage. As the world is too big to be generated manually (even Slartibartfast could only do the fjords) we relay on the automatic scenery generation. BUT: you can help easily as a non-techy person: you could create 3D models of buildings or try to figure out where existing buildings (like lighthouses, wind turbines, ...) are located and submit them to http://fgfsdb.stockill.org/ Then they can be automatically included in the next scenery build. (Or a more compilcated and techy version is to look what and how the guys at http://web44.netzwerteserver2.de/198.0.html are generating their scenery.)
