This is something that I would like to do for Washington DC.Unfortunately I don't have vector graphics, though I can easily getraster graphics of the USGS 7.5' maps.Josh ---You can use Inkscape to convert the raster graphics to SVG (or other vector) formats.My 2 centsIsaoJosh Babcock
Right now svg2ac creates one .ac file containing all the buildings, another containing all the runways and a last one containing all the taxiways.It would be easy for someone to go in the .ac file using either blender or AC3D and edit the geometry, to add features such as towers, modify the height

Yes svg2ac can be a real improvement in speed, the whole process takes seconds(except for the altitude fetching part, but that can be improved~minutes). The errors currently can not be corrected in Blender, the first one is a bug in my code, the second is inherent to FG(but there are techniques to

Even without automatic texture generation it would cut down airport

be too hard. At least it eases the
