Classic British Flight Sim

For those who don't know, I've been floundering around with freeware bgl makers and placers.
This cost me $30AU download, and the difference in ease of placement is incredible.
It is the actual tool used by the FTX scenery builders. So far I am extremely happy with it.
After spending days nudging objects around in SAMM2, restarting FSX, checking the latest error, closing, opening SAMM2, tweaking, etc ad nauseum,
I repositioned everything and added more in an hour or so, including finding extra on line aircraft and installing into FSX.
I'll come back in a couple of minutes with an edit......
EDIT
This is FSX (duh!)

This is Google Earth

Fantastic job. Bloody well done, Mike

As real as it gets Mike

While this may have been a steep learning curve for you, I think you'll find it was probably easier than doing it 'the other' way.. having them as flying aircraft that only fly at night when you can't see them. The hassle involved getting them to point the right way and park up like that as 'live' aircraft would've been an impossible task

Well done for sticking with it.. the end result justifies your hard work Thanks for the HU on Instant Scenery too

Have they made it work in P3D yet?

Hi Peter,
There's forum chat about this here:

Good luck.

This is a great bit of software - I bought it as soon as it was released. You can find some huge libraries of objects around the 'net that you can use with it.

On my first play, I made a huge fairground in the middle of Seattle airport
Took about 30 minutes, it's so easy to get the hang of with the aid of the concise manual.

Very easy, and even good fun, to use.

Just don't ask about AI...

A big public thank you to Garry, who kindly helped me out with aircraft missing parts to represent the deteriorated state of some museum examples.
Some of the other authors have changed their email addresses since releasing their work, so I'll try to find other models.
Anyway, seeing as it's private use only at present, I don't think anyone can sue me for this:

Well done, Mike. That looks amazing. You must be feeling very pleased with yourself. I guess that's you set for life now with your favourite airport in FS. You won't want to fly anywhere else

Are they all in the correct livery now?

Ian

Looks good Mike

Nice job

Thanks Gents! Your positive words and help keep me going.
No, Ian, the Sabre, Gannet and DC3 need attention, and I'm trying to make the Heron props and spinners transparent. Tried overpainting them R 0, G 255, B 0, and told DXTBMP to apply, (pure green is supposed to be completely transparent in that programme) but I must have missed a step somewhere, they reappeared as original colours. The Heron also has black strips behind each nacelle - they don't show on the wing texture. When I find them, they'll get their marching orders! Need to kill the spinning props on the DC3, but haven't found how to yet. I want to delete the rotor on the Wessex, but Brian Franklin hasn't got back to me. It's getting there, but not yet ideal. Thanks again for your support, it is important to me.
