Umm... ahem... for me, "local" scenery disks mean New Zealand... like around 7500km from San Fransisco, in a south-westerly direction... I don't think SubLogic would be too keen to rush an NZ scenery disk into production! If you can get me any more details on the editor I'd be grateful. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charlie "The Bear" Lear | clear@cavebbs.gen.nz | Kawasaki Z750GT DoD#0221 The Cave MegaBBS +64 4 643429 V32 | PO Box 2009, Wellington, New Zealand --------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are supposedly 7 scenery disks from sublogic. The editor is sometimes bound along with the new plane disk, (which includes a new plane editor! Very powerful!) This package set me back about $40. You can alter the terrain as you see fit, and can add airports, lights, shrubbery, buildings, bridges, and navaids as well. This is a very nice addition to the package. The new planes include a 747-400, Beechcraft Starship, and a seaplane. The instrument panel is new for the 747-400 (read complicated!). I use the simulator back to back with Tracon II, which also has available alternate scenery/sector disks. This is a helluva combination! -- David E.
