There are various ways.

1. Runway12 Object placer which is freeware.
2. Build the object yourself and place it using .xml (not sure on this one)
3. EZ Scenery by Abacus Publishing.
4. GMAX - see Robins Windowlight website. Great article on there.
5. The SDK's from Microsoft

There's bound to be others.

I use EZ Scenery and if you go to most download sites under the Scenery Creation area you'll see the various object libraries that can be downloaded which give you the objects and their textures. You then place them using in my case EZ Scenery.

The upcoming Friday night FS9 Missions have been created in this way.

In the case of EZ. Anybody can download the Library for free here. (it's about 8mb for the entire thing). You just need someone with EZ to create the scenery .bgl with the placement and object instructions. You then place this in your Addon Scenery/scenery folder and away you go.

If no one else steps up. If you want to flick me a PM with what you're after, I should be able to put something together for you.

oops sorry forgot. Some addon scenery like Robins excellent RealNZ series comes with vehicles.

Or FSX has them default

This is part of Jon Murchison's AIS aircraft. There's a catering truck, baggage loader and pushback from memory. I assume you can download these now that they've been taken off Jon's site?
These are standard in FSX, but nothing with a local flavour yet. Hmmm...

That "Hmmmm......." at the end sounds like youve just had a bright idea for some local flavour Rob....................................

'Course if you want to splash out on a little payware...and go travelling:



Everything in this shot is animated, and comes when called: baggage handlers, catering trucks, jetways, fuel, service vehicles, the dude doing ground support etc etc.
This is AES from Aerosoft, which hangs onto airport sceneries, and makes them move.

I find I am doing a little wandering in faroff places as a result.

Hey Charl

Does that work in nz or is it only over seas

[dnkiwi]

hi Charl i would like to know if the programe u refer to in your post would work with fsx also could u tell me where i can download this

[Charl]

This is only for FS9 (The Real Flight Simulator, for now).
Go to the Aerosoft site and check out AES.
It's damn clever, and you configure it to your specific aircraft so it knows where to load the plastic food in.
It is available for a number of airports, none in NZ unfortunately but I hope we'll see a change in that!

Awwwwwww Bugger

It would of been really cool if it worked in New Zealand

Back to the drawing board then lol

I just noticed Charl, why are you parking on that stand? there arnt any markings for 757s!! Its funny what you pick up after working on an airport. Very cool little utility, the other thing with it is that you have to buy the credits ofr other airports, thats just greedy I think.

It was to test the system, I just picked a spot at random to see if everything would pitch up and connect.
It did, since the Marshall stopped me at the right place too.
As to the marketing model, I did think it a little strange at first.
But I got sucked in by the free demo for the (freeware but absolutely brilliant) Boston Logan scenery.
There are other freebie demos too.
But if you have bought Frankfurt, now top of my list of best airports, you need to buy credits for AES.
Your choice, and having seen it elsewhere, no problem - it adds great value to quite a large airport.
