Yes, it'll be interesting to see how that goes. In the interim I was going to try an experiment to see if I could import the airport terrain into Blender, then cut the lines from that, and then save as a simple ac3d object for later positioning in the sim. Might be quite tricky, but I'll give anything a go in the interests of scientific discovery... :-) Kind regards, Chris Wilkinson, Brisbane, Australia. Need a Holiday?
