Willy, I thought of you when I saw this for your Flightsim 1950's install.

Thanks! I'd heard about it being a work in progress a month or so ago, but had forgotten about it.

Hi,

Note that this scenery (and Paul Young's KMKC) are the first I know of that used the program Google Sketchup to create the custom terminals. This is much easier to use vs GMAX or FSDS, and also uses Arno's ModelConverterX utility to convert the exported Sketchup file into an MDL library object.

I have a tutorial about the process here:

Hope this helps,

Installed it this afternoon and after tweaking the parking codes to match up with my custom AI setup, I like it very much. It seems to be easier on the framerates than comparable GMAX scenery at least on my ancient computer. I'm looking forward to more of this stuff.

Here's a couple of screenies of the main terminal I took.....

That's very good news Tom! Been a while since I went to that forum! Got me interested!

sketchup works well for achitecture.
Now that it can be converted, we should have some happy scenery builders.
and it's a free download from google

check it out.http://sketchup.google.com/download/gsu.html

That Baltimore terminal is great!

This latest collection of hanger objects I uploaded was made using Sketchup, though I don't think I mentioned that in the readme...

I'm also using Sketchup for the terminal and whatever other custom objects we need for our Hay River scenery.

Hi Sidney,

I thought you might have some too.

Glad to hear it.

Thanks,
