Hi,

I am looking fo a tool that will level the ground around an airport that was created by Microsoft in FS2004. If you take a look at airfield FNBG, you will see that it is actually under ground level, but it was constructed accordingly to the real world, so the problem is the ground by itself, no the airport.

I just installed AFCAD 2 for FS2004 but I figured out that if I raise the altitude of the runway and of the airport by itself, some parts of the runway are either underground (so not visible) or above ground (like floating) and that is because the ground is not leveled. In Lee Swordy's file, he says that you cannot set an inclination to a runway.

So, I'm trying to find a tool that will allow me to take what already is in FS2004 and lower the ground and make it leveled around the airfield, but I can't find one: they are either made for creating an area from scratch or are to add a texture to the ground (which I don't want to change).

Have any suggestion?

Thanks

You could try using a scenery design prog like FSSC and putting a 'flatten' over the area of the airport in the sim at the height of the buildings (you would need to experiment a bit to get things right). You'd need to have some experience of scenery design as you'd need to know how to get the exact location and probably how to create and position a background bitmap in order to get things right other wise you could be fiddling around for ages.

No guarantee it would work

Thanks, it seems like a nice tool. However I figured out that what I would need would be a BGL decompiler. It doesn't seem to be something easy to find. (And is it legal to decompile those?)

Anyway, I think that I will simply recreate the area myself so that it overwrites what was done by them.
