With the release of version 1.3 of the free VLC Object libraries and associated thumbnail pack (V1.3), it's never been easier to re-create your local airport, town or local landmarks! There are currently over 270 objects modeled and textured from real New Zealand buildings, trees, bushes and objects.
You don't need to have any prior experience with 3D modelling or scenery development, just a Deluxe copy of FSX as you'll need the SDK to compile your placement file into a scenery bgl file.
To get started, you'll need two downloads from the VectorLandClass website - The latest VLC Libraries and the Thumbnail pack which includes instructions for creating your scenery with Whisplacer. Then, its just a case of adding hangers, buildings, trees and objects based on your local knowledge or imagery from Google/Bing (using a program like FSEarthTiles to get an aerial photo into FSX to use as a template for placing objects is a good way to ensure placement accuracy, although the imagery itself cannot be shared)
The libraries are split into 6 categories:
