Acknowledgement:

Thanks to Pascal Meziat (PVF, author of Airport) for giving permission to
convert objects from Airport's collection. Hope we'll see an Airport version
for Scenery Maker soon.

Thanks to Maurizio Gavioli of Simula for providing a nice scenery compiler 
i can entertain with.

Thanks to Umberto 'Scenery Italy' Colapicchioni of Simula, which passed
me a few trivial tips.

Hi,
here are a few objects for use with Gavioli's Scenery Maker and it's the
2nd release of this archive. Many more objects have been added or converted
and many bugs have been fixed into the already existing ones. Some i designed
on my own, some have been converted from Airport ones, with permission.

IMPORTANT: to use these objects you also need Airport Textures (*.OAV)
found in the Airport package. Airport is a front-end for designing 
airports and surroundings to be found on ftp.iup.edu or FsFAN-Net.

Please warn me should you encounter problems or errors.

They use common parameters to be placed, and they are few and easy to
understand. Ex.

;? " Scale "=SML_Scale               
This will set up objects scale

;? " Heading [HDG] "=SML_Heading
This will set up objects heading

;? " Altitude "=SML_Alt
This will set up objects altitude. It should be the same than your scenery.
In meters

;? " Required scenery density to show (1-4) "=SML_Comp 
This will set up minimum scenery density in order for one object to show on.
It ranges from 1 to 4 and this goes as:

1 - objects show on when Sparse
2 - objects show on when Normal
3 - objects show on when Dense
4 - objects show on when Very Dense

;? " Is season change required (0-1) "=SML_Change
This indicates whether bitmap must change with season (not sure they will do, 
though). If 0 it doesn't change. This applies to trees.

;? " Texture Smoothing (0-1)"=SML_Smooth
This indicates whether a textured object should be smoothed as well.
1 - smoothing on, 0 - smoothing disabled.

Updates to this collection will be released as soon as new objects are being 
created or converted and as time permits.

Hope you like this little job of mine and if you are really fond of it, 
please send me an Email message. Converting Scasm objects 2 SM is not this
easy, it's really a tremendous effort.

This job should fill anyway your Scenery Maker / Schiratti Commander library,
which are excellent pieces of software but which oddly lack custom 
objects. It should also provide a good way to learn how to code objects for
SC/SM by digging into them. Good, final advice:
PLEASE DISTRIBUTE MACROS YOU CREATE. If you do it for free, then it's fair 
when other FS enthusiasts may enjoy them, too.
