Library Object Manager/Scenry Maker Version 1.003

File Description:
This is a cumulative bug fix release. It fixes two recently found bugs. (1) - the rotation values were not correctly used in the quick place and quick line functions. (2) - libraries could not be deleted from the library filter list. Both these are fixed in this release. This is an executable only release - replace the existing ObjectManager.exe with the one in this zip file. REQUIRES Version 1.00 of LOM to be installed. NOTE. If you have not updated to version 1.002 from version 1.00 you should read the enclosed release notes for Version 1.002 which describe the changed functionality introduced in that version. You do not need to install version 1.002 - changes in that version are included in this release.

Library Object Manager with Scenery Maker Version 0.99

File Description:
This is the final beta release of this program. Library Object Manager is a utility to manage your collection of FS9 Library Objects. It can import information from a number of sources including library files, SBuilder, RWY12 and EZ-Scenery. It can export information about objects to SBuilder, EZ-Scenery, RWY12 and other Secnery Design Programs. You can catalog objects by libary, user defined category and author. If you have a lot of objects then LOM makes using them in your scenery very much easier. Scenery Maker is part of LOM and tightly integrated with it. It uses the database of objects. Scenery Maker is a placement program and uses your Flight Sim aircraft position to place objects (Similar to RWY12). Works only with FS2004 objects and Simulator. Requires Microsoft dotNET Framework Version 2 and bglxml. Full details are in the download documentation. Support is available from http://www.scruffyduck.plus.com

API Manager

File Description:
API macros are old technology as far as FS scenery design is concerned. The new approach in FS2004 and beyond is quite different. It seems possible that scenery files using macros will not be supported in the next version of FS. Nevertheless there are many scenery designers who still use macros. I am one and I have a large collection of macros. I wanted a way to manage and categorize these macros. I also wanted to be sure that I could credit authors correctly when I use the results of their efforts. I wanted a way to keep information about object footprint and scale and I wanted to know ahead of time if I had missing textures for an object. Hence API Manager. Please be aware that this is a first release and there are likely to be things wrong. There are also some areas of the program which could be more user friendly. Please note that API Manager only works with api macros Requires dotNET framework version 2 from Microsoft. Support is available from www.scruffyduck.plus.com

Tutorial: Placing 3d Objects using Sbuilder

File Description:
This is the fourth Tutorial in my series on using Sbuilder to design airport scenery. In this one I look at adding objects such as buildings, trees and vehicles to your scenery. I cover how Sbuilder displays information about, and categorizes objects. I show how to use FS default library objects, API macros and RWY12 objects to populate the airfield. Support is available from my website www.scruffyduck.plus.com

Texture Finder Version 0.1b2

File Description:
This program is for scenery designers only. If you use api or asd macros then the program can help to ensure that all the necessary textures are available. Many scenery design programs such as Airport for Windows and FSSC have the facility to transfer required textures into the scenery folder. Other tools do not. Even the tools that do sometimes miss textures. Texture Finder decompiles a scenery bgl (using scdis.exe from Takuya Murakami - available separately) and then identifies the textures used. It can then idenfity and move missing files into the appropriate folder. Identify needed textures which are missing from you systems and also those which are not used. It works only for SCASM based bgls and cannot identify textures for objects from libraries. It requires the latest version of dotNET from Microsoft (version 2). Please read the included pdf file for details. Support is available from www.scruffyduck.plus.com

Tutorial - Making FS9 Object Libraries available in SBulder

File Description:
My fifth Tutorial using Sbuilder. This one looks at how to make FS9 library objects available in Sbuilder so that you can add them to your scenery. It uses an EZ-Scenery library as an example but the information is relevant to any FS9 library. I also cover adding thumbnails of Fs9 libray objects so that you can preview the objects before adding them to your scenery. Support avilable from scruffyduck.plus.com

Library Object Manager

File Description:
Library Object Manager is a utility designed to manage your collection of FS9 library objects. It does not work with API Macros (API Manager from ScruffyDuck Software can do that). Functions include importing object information from FS9 library bgl files; from SBuilder, RWY12 and EZ-Scenery. Categorizing objects by user defined category, by library name and by author. Exporting object information so that it can be used by SBuilder, RWY12, Object Placer XML, EZ-Scenery, and SceneGenX. Creating library files from your collection of .mdl objects. A quick placement function to allow you to place objects into your scenery for testing, creating thumbnails etc. A more extensive object placement program (Scenery Maker) which is similar in concept to RWY12 and Object Placer XML. This program is currently in Beta and further developments are planned. It may therefore not work entirely as expected although it has been tested by a number of kind and helpful users. LOM Requires Mirosoft dotNET Framework 2.0; bglxml.exe from Alessandro G. Antonini; FSUIPC from Pete Dowson for the scenery creation function to work; and bglcomp from Microsoft (included in this package). PLEASE read the included manuals before using the program. Support is available from my website www.scruffyduck.plus.com.

Big Thumbnail Pack

File Description:
Pack that contains thumbnail images of all the stock library objects in FSX. Intended for use with Airport Design Editor but can also be used with other tools. (This is a re-upload of a file lost or corrupted from the library)

This is yet another collection of library object thumbnail images for FSX. It is however probably the most complete. The thumbnails are made using Instant Scenery of all the stock library objects found in FSX. It includes the objects found in OBX files as well as local specific files and general object files. There are a few where the thumbnail did not work however. Can be used with Instant Scenery or Airport Design Editor (version 1.30 onwards).
