Yea, I was ready to purchase that a few days ago Brian only to discover that it's "Coming Soon". I will make the purchase once it's available though. Looks amazing, almost like GMax on the fly!!

Thanks Brian and Ed, I just finished the download. This looks like just what I need for my budding scenery building efforts. Off to check out the program in depth. The price is certainly right. Appreciate the heads up.

I'm going to dive on this one like a Pitbull on a poodle. Just what I needed!!!

No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
My feeling exactly about GMAX. As you say, hopefully this will fill that gap in our efforts to produce just what we want when the idea pops into our heads. The creativity of this program should be unlimited, I hope.

Time to start getting all those buildings at the airport (North Texas Regional/Grayson County/Perrin Field) digitized so I can start texturing the buildings as I build them. Always wanted to do the airport, but the hangars and buildings need to look authentic for it to be successful. . .here's my chance to pull that off, I hope.

Yep, the Redding Municipal Airport has a very unique terminal building. Some guy did one years ago that was very close but I have been unsuccessful importing into FSX. Here is my chance to make KRDD look as it should. Great find.

One very nice program! I saw this on Facebook.

Looks clever.
I think I'd prefer to stick with my old modelling program but I think this would be a great way for anyone to get into making some custom scenery for FSX.
Unfortunately this will cause me to spend more money. After loading FSX and starting the program it informed me that the version of Instant Scenery I use (the original release version) is not compatible and I have to purchase the newest version in order to use it, lol.

Yea, obviously if you're already well versed in one of the 3D programs, this is kinda like drawing with crayons before you work up to Oils. What it should do though is give folks who are simply unable to grasp GMax or FSDS (yes there are actually folks who don't understand those programs, lol), a chance to actually customize airports with relative ease. I would say that the only thing easier would be if there was a way to import 3 different views of a building as bitmap images, input the basic dimensions and have the program build it for you, lol.

After looking at it and weighing in the fact that I Gmax at will I decided that since I was willing to part with $30 I opted to get Instant Scenery 2 instead.
This is golden.
Does it do;
Hardened surfaces?
Animations (hanger doors, etc?)
On a side note, Holy @#$% as a thread topic? C'mon!?
It's not necessary to go to IS2, but there are some steps involved in using IOS and IS1. The developer covered them here; http://www.simforums.com/forums/inst...opic42129.html

From what I can tell, you don't need IS at all. Just generate the buildings in place and save them as a BGL instead of an MDL. I haven't gotten that far into it yet, but the first test building I did was completed and works without IS.

Sorry if I offended. I hadn't had my first cup of coffee yet and to be honest, I was blown away by the versatility of this program. It can do in seconds what used to take me 1/2 an hour to do in FSDS. And do stuff that program can't even do (The bending arch) As someone who has been using FSDS from nearly the get go (back in the dark ages of FS 2000) this is (to me) an incredible piece of software that I will be purchasing once payday hits this week.
I know FSDS pretty well but Gmax has always been greek to me....What it should do though is give folks who are simply unable to grasp GMax or FSDS (yes there are actually folks who don't understand those programs, lol)

I'm with you. This is going to be one heck of a tool! And about time something like this developed too. Long over due, but just great to see.
Now I can make FSX "my world". I'm pretty excited about getting it actually. I can finally dig into my stock pile of textures.
I made comment previously, but I'm hoping (no deal killer) that it supports animations?
Hardened surface options would also be a plus.
My brain's been going 90 miles an hour since I heard this was released. Knowing what can be done and all.
Said with tongue in cheek (a little). OK all you guys that plan on getting this program let the rest of us know when you run out of projects. I'm sure we can provide you with some more....LOL...

This will be a definite must have for me.... Sure you can do stuff in GMAX, but it is a lot cooler to do it instantly like that! I have a couple airports I have been working on that I have just been slowly working at. This program will speed up my process by a lot. Is such a pain going back and forth in/out of the simulator to check everything.

Hi,
Is it possible to make taxiways, hardstands, aprons and the like with this program as well ?
Looks incredibly handy.

It is pretty buggy. For instance, this is what I got when opening a model by clicking on it (one of the options). The photo scenery was no longer shown, just blue with models and autogen. For added fun, the cars you see are actually moving, coming down like rain!
