Hi All... ....!
Can you lead me to a simple, (very simple!), FS 2002 utility to flatten* a selected area and create a hard/grass/dirt runway ready to accept LAGO's FSSE objects.
An example would be to create a Bush, etc,  runway where one does not at present exist.

(Chuck Dome has one on page 4 of Sim V Scenery Design Utilities, but it's for FS5, FS'98, CFS and FS 2002, and I don't know if it will work for the later FS 2002/FS 2004 series...)...?
Many thanks... ...!

Cheers all... ...!
Paul.

* ...if possible, and also remove any existing objects, (default trees, buildings, etc.).

Hi Foz. I've told you many times before - try FSSC.

Flattening an area & removing default objects with FSSC is not difficult once you understand the basics. When you get used to it you might find that you don't need FSSE.

Just downloaded it. Will give it a try, but it's got to be simple... ...!
..Oh...
...and I'll still continue to use FSSE, just to annoy you, if nothing else... ...!
..together with my FS Navigator... ...!

Do you know what...?
Remember I said "Simple*"...?
Well I fiddled and far*ed around with FSSC to create a simple* runway until my eyes bled.... ...!
I created the xx.bgl file for my desired location, stuck it in my scenery folder, flew to the site....
...nuffin'... ...!
So I downloaded Chuck Dome's excellent, (simple*!), little program, (436K), and the whole thing worked an absolute treat.... .... ... ...!
Choice of Tarmac with numbers, grass, concrete or dirt.
All done in 30 seconds... ...!

Well done old bean.

It does look a handy little utility at that.
As I've said many times - it's a matter of preference so try all possible alternatives & judge for yourself. What suits me obviously won't suit everyone. I find FSSC simplicity itself.

Hmmm

Nice little spot for a stop-over

You must let me know what the ATC and ILS fequencies are some time Foz

And presumably there is an NDB there so vistors who don't know where it is can find it

Hi Roger...
Leave San Francisco International.
Tune to Sausalito VOR 116.20.
Pass over.
Re-tune to Point Reyes VOR 113.70.
Fly there.
Fozzers Point Reyes airstrip. Bearing:
N 038* 03.34'
W 122* 57.22'
Watch out for sailing boat masts if flying in low, heading 270 degrees.

Tea and bacon sarnies are on me at the FBO... ...!

Cheers... ...!
