There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Yeah, this scenery stuff is a piece of cake, as you found out over at the ADE forums... :isadizzy:
Word of advice, Diego. This is a nice, friendly place without too many egos gone wild. I'd be asking questions of the nice people here before you go wading into the deep part of the pool. There's some sharks at that end! But nothing a few stitches can't help to heal.

I'd also have a look at SBuilderX and Whisplacer in
addition to ADE.
With SBuilderX you can create some custom landclass
polys to add those small ponds in the area as well as
acurately shaped forestation. And any plateau effects
can be eliminated with sloped polygons in SBuilderX.
Whisplacer is great for adding hangars and other buildings.
Unfortunately I've got a pretty full schedule of travel
for the next few weeks, otherwise I'd be glad to help
as I've done the sort of things you need with several
FSX airports, using those three tools.
Here isa an example of what can be done. This is "my"
Tokol, LHTL, outside of Budapest. Note the landclass
additions...small lakes, forests and the buildings.
And here is an oblique view of the original FSX default Tokol:
And the same view of my enhanced Tokol:
I used a Google Earth image for reference when placing the various landclass
polys that define the ponds and forests. Also all the other elements that
are missing in the FSX default airport.
There appears to be a pretty good image of your airport in Google Earth and
looking at the 'street view' on the hiway to the south that large hangar
resembles one of the 'stock' FSX hangars so you should be able to add
that one and another similar one further north with Whisplacer.
Also, it looks like the GA sheds can be done with FSX stock buildings.
