Hi Syd, Be brave, GIVE IT A GO!, as an Australian might say ;=))
First TerraGear is a set of command line 'tools', not a single program... it consists of a suite of tools like :- demchop, fgfs-construct, genapts, gshhs, hgtchop, noaa-decode, ogr-decode, shape-decode, srtmchop, terra, terrafit, tgvpf, etc, etc... As far as I am aware, CVS TerraGear no longer compiles, unless you use a very OLD SimGear CVS, at least PRE-OSG... And terrgear-cs (git) will only compile against the simgear-cs (git) repository source... this is what I have been using... What particular airport is your main area of interest? As to 're-aligning the runway', this can be done by adjusting FG data/Airports/apt.dat.gz file... But to make it 'permanent' - that is not lost in the next FG scenery generation - you should submit your changes to Robin Peel - you can find his email on the X-Plane web page :- http://data.x-plane.com/contact.html And TaxiDraw can be used to fix or add missing taxiways... and its export then used to again adjust the appropriate section in the apt.dat file... Then you _MAY_ get away with just using the TG 'genapts' tool to regenerate the particular <ICAO>.btg.gz file... after you have downloaded the necessary elevation data... But usually any changes in the apt.dat file will cause the airport 'cutout' to change in size, thus you have to redo the scenery tiles around it, to match up with the new cutout... The wiki page :- http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Howto:_Use_Terragear_on_Windows is probably a good place to start... and it has links to other pages... And while it is now quite dated, like only mentioning the CVS repositories - the git repositories did not exist when it was written! - the page :- http://www.terragear.org/docs/scenery-tutorial/fg-scenery-tutorial.html is also of considerable help... Hope this helps, and good luck!
