All of the modeling of airport buildings, custom ground textures and static vehicles are created with Gmax. Gmax is a freeware design program by Discreet. Our Landclass, is created using Ground2K4 by Christian Fumey. Google Earth, a free online geomatic information program, is used to assist us in placing buildings/airport structures as well as determining where to place appropriate ground textures with Ground2K4.
Some visual examples of the process of our scenery design at CYYG are shown below.
