Thanks for the tutorial Shrikar. Really useful for areas with high terrain levels.

Hi! Great tutorial! I use AutoCAD, SHP files with the terrain, Excel and 3D studio MAX, is not simple and take time, but the terrain looks very good!

When man seeks so much the way that people fear him, he first finds a way to be hated.

Hello Cesar,

 

Since you're talking about AutoCad. Do you know how to use charts to make ground layouts with it?

Sure, I know how, but is not easy to explain, first you need set the aiport in the correct UTM coordinates and draw the airport, save the file as DXF, use a converter DXF-KML-SCT, done. I'm not a expert, but there is two ways I use to create ground layout, first: using the BGL (AFCAD), if is FSX I use Airport Facilitator X to convert to FS9, that is the only BGL can Sected read, after that I convert the SCT to CSV (separated by ; ) modify the coordinates in excel to UTM using a formula, then create a SCRIPT file for Autocad to improve the airport in the program. The second way is using google earth, there is some tutorials online for that.

That is the easy explain... my english is not so good, so I hope you understand what I'm trying to explain..

That looks amazing; using charts to make ground layouts without tracing is something i've been trying to do for ages, with little success.

Hi! I'm not using charts to create ground layouts, I just create a sector file like jeppesen's charts, to create the layout I use others method, like this:
