First Help for SBuilderX users!
Posted: Wed Jun 27, 2007 4:54 am
SBuilderX 310 has been distributed with no Help file. I am sorry for this but I would not like to postpone anymore the release of SBuilderX.
The Help button in the programme will bring you here instead of presenting you with a local and well structured Help file. When the fist release of SBuilder for FSX came out, in December 2006, users (and rarely myself) have provided information on this forum that helped others to start using SBuilder straight away. Luis Feliz Tirado wrote a great tutorial that is available in the AVSIM file library at:
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... LID=100997
Unfortunately, from December to June, SBuilderX was modified a bit and some of the images that Luis Tirado presents do not match with the present SBuilderX interface. But the main ideas about designing Terrain Scenery with SBuilderX are there and it is a must to read Luis's document. Once you have this tutorial on your local disk you can add a pointer to it in the SBuilder.ini file so that you can access it through the Help menu.
I would like to say that I would be extremely grateful for any other tutorial that you could write. I would be even more grateful if you want to consider to write a complete Help file. Please write me on both the situations.

Scott Smart wrote a tutorial - "This tutorial introduces SBuilderX, a scenery design tool for FSX. The use of SBuilderX for modifying airport terrain is demonstrated including installing SBuilderX, creating new terrain scenery within the tool, and testing in FSX. Project areas cover KATL and LG0D airports." - available at:

Luis Feliz Tirado made another excelent tutorial about creating photo scenery in FSX. The tutorial includes a part related to the use of SBuilderX in the creation of this type of scenery. You get the tutorial here:
