Sorry, my fault. I was asking for a pic where you can see the whole base in one shot.

BTW: seems to be a nice scenery!

Now we use the same language :lol:

Thanks for the pics. The sceneries look great. There is just the background - especially the grass green part of it - that looks kind of weird.

Yeah, they would be even better if they had VTPs.

A VTP file can be generated through programs such as SBuilder, that can change the background of an area, i.e. an airfield. You can also generate a VTP exclude.

That's a brief description but for a more technical answer, and maybe more clever stuff somebody that can actually use it really needs to explain better than I can.

Sbuilder can be found on FlightSim.com (sbuilderfs9.zip).

Regarding the VTPs I highly recommend the tutorials by Jon Masterson, especially the airfield regression and the land and lines tutorial.
They are at http://www.scenery.org/tutorials.htm
(airfield_regression.zip), (land_and_lines.zip)

Both helped me a lot.

The hardest part is actually getting SBuilder set up in the first place, there's even a tutorial for that processs, LOL!

It requires Scasm and some other programs that if you haven't done much scenery design before, you may not have, so you have to download and install them first. Then there's getting SBuilder to actually compile your BGL file.

It's nice once it's working properly but the setup is a bit of work.
