Tutorial - TerraMaxx support for all default airports (english and german)

[FlyAgi]

This is a cross post from the TerraMaxx anouncment thread because I think this is more or less relevant for getting the best out of TerraMaxx. As there is no dedicated forum (yet) I think it's better to post it here so it's easier to find. Maybe this can be moved to a more appropriate forum when ready. If there is any confusion, just tell me. I just want to support TerraMaxx and so I like to share my results. 

 

I finally have made some corrections (thanks to John) and a tutorial for making many airports look better in winter. The tutorial is in german and english - I hope my english is good enough for this.

I'm slightly confused by this, I was under the impression that TerraMaxx works with default scenery out of the box, with no need for any tinkering, and only 3rd party airports that use non-default buildings or grass textures need to be customized? It all sounds very complicated...

TerraMaxx does work with default scenery out of the box. This thread is just for people modifying their custom add-on scenery to work with TerraMaxx.

Actually, this is not designed for custom airports but for solving the default airport's runways and taxiways which can't be changed by TerraMaxx for technical reasons. Of course, the polygons will also work with custom scenery packages, but I think they will be useless on larger othophotos covering a bit more than the airport. 

On the other side, the pole files tweak could be implemented into TerraMaxx so users don't have to do the needed steps themselves.

Ah, I misunderstood. I see now there are some small and grass airfields that use .pol resources that we missed. I'll talk to John about how we want to deal with it.
