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!!

UPDATE: Now available!!!

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.

Yep, same here Tom. The one thing I lack for my scenery is to be able to do custom objects. I've never been able to get my head around GMax. . .I'm hoping this will bridge that gap in my brain, lol

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

[stovall]

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.

[falcon409]

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!?
