My fault, I never really looked through the disks to see what was ther! ::) Anyway, Crussel Gmax is a 3-D modeling program that you can use to make buildings and such, You would use a program like RWY12 to place those buildings into your sim as scenery.

runway 3 is easier,run your fs get your coordinations,heading,alt, then close your fs open rwy3 type in what figures you got.Done. open sim go to where you put your runway and it should be there.as for rwy 12 you will need to download the object libraries aswell which are the object,hangers trees etc.

have fun,let me know how you go

runway3 & runway12 are here,  http://www.scenery.org/design_utilities_d.htm  but you will have to search for the object libraries for runway 12 as i have never used it,i use abacus EZ-Scenery which is payware.

have fun

I got Runway 12 seen as all I need is to add scenery, but I don't see how it works, it won't sync to my FS position and the files save as XML into it's own folders, not FS2004's and as .Bgl .....  :-/

I have FSUPIC, it came with Sqaukbox.
I think I fixed it, I had AFCAD and Runway12 running at the same time, it came up with an error message saying 2 copies were running.

Okay, well I totally ****'d that up  8-)

I must've done something wrong because all of the placement options went and things I had placed are now floating around in the sky....
and because it's not an install it's not simple to just un-install.
