Hey Gray Eagle, you'll be excited to know that I am working on a new airport for my interCaribbean VA because the only one available is MSFS and I can't convert it, so I'm making it with Google Earth. Pretty little airport which is where I parked the Super Stearman last night at the default version. It needs some sprucing up with a few Sketchup buildings and ground poly. Stay tuned for screen shots.
 
I spent the whole morning and the afternoon refreshing myself how to create photoreal scenery with SBuilderX and was successful after a few hours of frustration. I got what I went after:

Isn't it beautiful? Well from up above it as all photoreal background is. I know how to use the autogen annotator to place trees and buildings but unfortunately there are no red tile roof houses in it. Trees would be ok. I think it would defeat the purpose to use other kind of houses. So, no photoreal after 5 hours. I was able to create groundpoly textures of old beat up concrete like it is as you can see here and also created the center lines and threshold stripes with the gp line tool. Yesterday and this morning I completed the terminal. It is 25% accurate in that there is only one side accesible from Google Earth Street view as is usually the case, so I "fudged" the other three sides. The dimensions and roof tiles are all correct anyway. Here is what I have so far. I'm tired so that's enough for today.TFFS Terminal Bldg and apron.png
