Must...find... answers!!

Is there a program that lets you create your own airports? I've looked around but can't seem to find anything.... That are I have but didn't know  :-?

Afcad is actually fun to use (if you're a nerd like me ;D ;) ::))

Be always aware that AFCAD allows you to build an airport up from nothing, yes, but doesn't help you with the autogen.

Meaning that you'll have aprons, taxiways and runways with beautiful trees growing on them. And of course, no terminal.

To add a terminal or other buildings and to take away those frisky trees, you'll have to use other programs.

sidus has just pointed out the not-so-fun part of scenery design! It's not hard(unless your are as unlucky as me!) to do, but pretty boring.

What about starting off with Chuck Domes's simple Runway Generator....>>>>

...and then adding all the other bits and pieces, using LAGO's FSE (FS Enhancer), and Abacus's EZ-Scenery generator...
(What you see is what you get!)
...that's what I do, every day... ;)...!

FSSC always worked for me as well.  Thats Flight Sim Scenery Creator.  Its fairly easy to use, and allows you to interupt the autogen.

There was a post here not too long ago about building an entire airport. It encompassed six or seven softwares, all free, to do it. I think it was in the Utilities section...
emachines T6212; AMD Athlon64 3800+ (2.40 GHz; Venice core); Allied AL-B500E 500W power supply; 2048Mb PC3200 DDR400; Westinghouse LCM-22w2 wide-screen LCD monitor; eVGA e-GeForce 7900 GS KO X16 PCIe video card; Logitech Extreme 3D Pro flight controller;<

OK well now I can't get the airports to show up  ..hmm.. The first one I did FS loaded up the new scenery fine and everything when the game was loading. I just made another airport and its not doing that now. So I tried putting the file in the addon scenery> scenery folder (which is where the other one that works is)... nothing Try the normal scenery folder.. nothing. THEN! I try adding it in FS under settings.. nothing in the addon scenery folder even showed up, just files.   :-X *is confused*
