We are happy to announce the release of an update to Flight Simulator Scenery Creator: Version 1.5.2 on October 11th, 2002. Flight Simulator Scenery Creator is a simple, yet powerful, graphical editor that enables you to add additional scenery of your own design to Microsoft® Flight Simulator using a point-and-click interface. Some of the new features in version 1.5 include:

  • Open GL enabled drawing for realistic texture rendering.
  • New objects, including the Taxiway Line, Tower, Surface Area, Exclusion, and SCASM code.
  • New dialog boxes for an better user experience.
  • Special multiple object properties, now select multiple buildings and be able to change all of the properties of the buildings, not just the generic position attributes.
  • Automatic snap points to line - have seamless edges between polygons and taxiway lines.
  • Text fields support multiple units of measure.
  • Create rows of Buildings or Macros using the Line Object.
  • Export Scenery Wizard gets your scenery into Microsoft Flight Simulator quickly and with no fuss.
  • Tip of the Day provides helpful hints for designing scenery.
  • Rotate your perspective, but not your scenery. North does not always have to point up anymore!

The update fixes the following issues:

  • AFD compilation was always on by default (only in v1.5.1)
  • Incorrect updating of polygon and point names when Object list is opened.
  • Lighted taxiway lines did not light the arcs.
  • Crash when taxiway lines are straight and using arcs.
  • Tower did not appear in ATC Airport list
  • Zoom with mousewheels did not update the display.

In addition, the following features have been added:

  • Invisible line segments for taxiways.

FS Scenery Creator 1.5.2 will be made available through AVSIM's file library both as an upgrade and a full installation package, and can be accessed through the official FS Scenery Creator webpage, http://www.fssc.avsim.net/.
