If you are using either Instant Scenery or AFX or both, here's a thread to discuss what you are doing and to discuss techniques, libraries, problems etc.
For starters, I have two airports on the download page (Old Town & Belfast) and plan to do more.

Hi Tom,
Man this has been up for a long time with nothing posted. I'll take the first shot. I use IS3 now, it takes some getting used to but it is a lot easier in many respects. I also use AFX and swear by it, HOWEVER, lol. . .the one function I wish they would incorporate is the ability to add a refueling trigger. It's amazing to me that the freeware alternative (ADEX) has had it for a long time, yet AFX seems unable to add it. Not sure why. Another small inability of AFX (again ADEX is capable) is to allow the sizing of the rwy width to less than 1 meter. There are times, especially in the case of photoreal ground textures that I want the rwy in place for navigational purposes, but don't want the autogenerated texture to show. . .I just want to see the natural grass/dirt, etc. in AFX you are limited in how small a width you can use and what you end up getting is a thin strip down the middle of the grass. Another option that just seems like it would be simple to incorporate. I've posted questions about both these options in the AFX Forums in the past and the thread has gone unnoticed and never replied to. . .hundreds of views and not a single comment. Too bad because I like AFX, but here lately I have had to learn enough of ADEX to accomplish those two functions.

Just a follow-up. I did a get several responses concerning the lack of fuel trigger and sizing the rwy width. I was told that basically the fuel trigger option isn't a popular need by enough folks to incorporate it. The question about sizing the rwy was not replied to. I wouldn't be so hesitant to just dump AFX if it wasn't payware, lol. Of course, I've more than gotten my moneys worth with all the use it's gotten. . .it's just the principle ya know? lol.
Guess I'll start moving my work over to ADEX.
