If you're going to try building a completely new airfield, I recommend this tutorial (scroll to the bottom of the page -"gMax Static Object Tutorial"): http://www.mrjmaint.com/RegsHanger/Groun...FS3%20Stuff.phpOnce you get the hang of it, this method is really easy and quite precise. Building facilities (xml files that define building placement of different installations like airfields, train stations, etc) works the same in CFS3 and WOFF. And Lou has already demonstrated he knows how to get it to show up in game. Gecko, I have played a bit with GMAX creating xml output using the above tutorial with no real problem, but from that point on it is a clear as mud. How to integrate the facility XML into the game is not clear. Of course there are other issues such as skin rendering for the facility. Would be nice to find a tutorial that covers it all from A to Z. Any further advice is appreciated. PM me if you think this is OT for this thread. Best Regards;

Lou, this tutorial seems about long and detailed enough; and also is about texturing, it seems. GMAX Tutorial Buildings and Textures

I agree Ted, with historic aerodromes being my main focus in those landmarks at the moment. If I can get my current Boistrancourt mod to where I want it to be I'd like to produce an entire series of airfields to offer to the WOFF community.

If I can get my current Boistrancourt mod to where I want it to be...
Could it have to have the longitude/latitude numbers correctly in the files? I though I heard something like that, when I switched through above tutorial. ...I'd like to produce an entire series of airfields to offer to the WOFF community.
...which is exactly what I had hoped you to say, Lou! I have already started a pilot with Jasta 5. Now they are at Gonnelieu, but in 2 weeks they will have to move to Boistrancourt - hint, hint, nudge, nudge!

You are quite welcome ArisFuser. Yes, I have tried soooooooo many times to make improvements to the inflight map but as Pol and others have pointed out, the sheer scale of that map makes it nearly impossible to get any more definition to it while keeping it a workable size that the sim, and our computers, can handle. I say 'nearly impossible' as there is always the chance that someone will come up with the right mojo to make it happen.

I guess the inflight map is such a large one-piece-file, that you cannot have it with any finer detail - otherwise the devs would have tried it. Imagine you call up an inflight map with 12 MB or more - I guess many a system would produced a long load time, and maybe kick you out of WOFF?
