I don't think anybody saw my post:  :) By the way, Mark, do you have any good tutorials for scenery design? I want to do some some improvements on Catalina Island (First KAVX, then I'll move on to the cities of Avalon and Two Harbors), off the coast of Southern California.

Sorry. But I don't have any at all. For creating the buildings and UV Mapping (applying textures) it is much the same as for aircraft. The shapes are usually easier to do. I never tried to do hills and stuff like that. The main one that I did was for my home airport, but I didn't have any idea of the measurements except for the runways themselves.

I have only had a few tries at doing scenery and they were all done using FSDS 3/3.5/3.51. With that I would create the scenery and export them into the FSX\Addon Scenery\scenery folder as BGL files. FSDS does everything for me, I would use the "export as scenery" tool. After that I would start FSX to see what I had made.
