Circling back towards town.  A nice little shine on the side.

Heading for the airport.

A quick flyover before I land.

Slowing down.

Unlike FS2004, FS2002 Pro does not put the quality into Wabash even though it was the first electricaly lighted city in the world.  Even FS2004 does not have the greatest representation of the town.  I think they should at least put in the courthouse on which the origianal lights where placed, and are still displayed today.  

If I had the software I would be making a replica of Wabash.

Good shots, you can use Gmax to create scenery objects for FS2k0, FS2k2, and FS2k4 ( FS2000, FS2002, FS2004 ) ;)

There are lots of freeware tools for making that kind of thing Triple_7, Such as Easy object designer (EOD) for making the buildings. You can place individual buildings you have made in the correct geographical position with Flight simulator scenery creator (FSSC). There are also freeware mesh programs such as Terrabuilder light and Ground2k4. All without touching GMAX.....

thanks for the info.

i have a program that i could use to at least make the buildings.  but all i have right now is the access code to download it.  its a 4 hour download and i want to wait untill i get my cd burner hooked back up so i can put it on a cd.  

but even then i need to get a camera and go take some photos.  besides even if the flight sim had put the courthouse in, there was another section added to it over the past 2 years that almost doubled its size.  

also i need to redo the airport to add the hangers and a couple of taxiways that are missing.

i will see what i can do but untill i get another computer and get this one back to my friend i cant do much.
