This second version of this famous utility is very resulted and allows easily to create entierely an airport environment, just as well with the objects and generic textures provided with the product, as the one of Fly! II or the one provided by independant creators (like ROTW for example ).

The aim of this article is not to translate the excellent manual provided by Allan, but to show to those who ask what does it look like, in several screenshots, the advance we can have when we use this tool:

Vannes-Meucon (Morbihan) after the phase of the creation project: in "pink runways" and "khaki taxiways" (put automatically).

Remark: to see taxiways, .BGR and .TMS files which describe them must be installed (for all the lenght of the work with Terramodels) in the Data folder of Fly! II.

use of VAC map (scanned in .bmp) as a background map (we see the framing headband of the background map on elements found in Fly!).

after the adjustements of runways track

the same airport without the background map

after a zoom to place correctly the "objects"
(here, 6 buildings, the windsocket, the runways sign, a parking for cars, wooded aera, 2 villages, a helico aera, a static pa28).

and this is the result !

Download: Terramodels is composed of 2 very big files (about 13 Mb each one) and download it from avsim.
