Don't waste your money.
You can accomplish everything that program does without spending money. There are several options. You will need to have the FSX SDK installed for these things to work.
1) Object Placer Tool...ships with the FSX SDK. runs from inside the game and lets you drop objects anywhere you like.
2) Scenery Builder X (SBuilderX). Available as freeware, lets you add roads, railways, water, landclass, objects, change elevations, etc...
3) Airport Design Editor 1.6. Available as freeware. does everything SBuilder does, but also lets you manipulate airport elements such as aprons, taxiways, runways, signs, lighting, nav aids, etc..
Then there are all the free scenery objects available here at simviation and other flight sim add-on sites. You can DL these objects and place them In your sceneries.
Then there's free software to let you build your own objects. Google sketch-up, combined with Model Maker, and GIMP photo editing suite, and the appropriate SDK compiler programs, and presto, you are on your way to customized scenery making.
