modifying existing scenery

[brettt777]

I am wondering if these scenery programs (gmax, FSSC) can be used to modify existing FS9 scenery. Specificaly, to make a building larger. (I grew up  in Seattle and know that the Washington Mutual Plaza in downtown Seattle is MUCH bigger than what is displayed in FS9. The Washington Mutual Plaza is the third tallest building in Seattle and in FS9, there are many buildings that are taller than this one). Can I use one of these programs to make this building it's correst size?

I hear ya totally on that one, and have been wondering the same thing myself, since I also grew up in Washington State (I live in Shelton, WA).

Several errors in terms of Washington State scenery are present as far as I can tell, outside of the list I mentioned in a Flight Simulator 2006-related thread.

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge towers are 119 feet taller in FS9 than it is in reality - and its towers are too close to land especially the West tower, which does not sit on land as it does in FS9. In reality, the West tower is 1,100 feet (or the length of its sidespans) offshore, while the East tower is approximately 900 feet from shoreline.

The layout of Seattle Center is way off. The Pacific Science Center should be right under - and just to the southwest -of the Space Needle.

The programs do not modify the original .bgl files, but when incerted into the Addon Scenery floder they overide the stock sceenery. Welcome to the hobby of scenery design. Start with vod to design objects, and Airport for Windows to place them. If all you want to do is correct runways use AFCAD
