Yes its difficult, but then you don't say what you want to create and for what simulator, so not much advice can be given.

Birdman if you can get this together it will be a great help to a lot of people, I know when I first started looking at scenery design (and Im still just starting) it is a minefield.
Its okay using tutorials, but the question to the newbie is tutorials for which programs?
What do I need to learn? Nowhere it seems puts all the available software into some sort of co-ordinated guide suggesting what you should use for your chosen type of scenery and Flightsim.

For instance, should I wish to make VFR scenery objects such as power stations and place them in FS9, then there is no point in somebody telling me I need AFCAD.

The best effort I have seen to explain this so far is as you said on scenery.org, but more specifically its probably worth downloading the file:

Scenery Design White paper for FS2000 and Airport 2.10 This (*.zip) html-document reflects the current state of knowledge about scenery design with APT2.10 for FS2000 as collected by the authors and by messages in the scenery design forum of flightsim.com. From: Martin Wright, Andreas Klisch, Ralf-J. Triebel. This is required reading for scenery creation in FS2000. sdw1.zip (1.83mb)

Thanks for your thoughts Reap - I'll take a look at the white paper.

Lol - we all just tend to assume everyone wants to create an airport ;)

I've almost finished all the programs directly related to airport design. If anyone would like to add thier own thoughts in the relevant user opinion thread I would be most grateful.

I'm also after an images showing before/during & after for SceneGenX, RWY12 & if its easy FSSC so I can collate them in the same style as the other pics. Let me know if you can.
