Here are some tips and tricks to help you using the Aerofly FS airport creation tool.

Automatic rounding:
- Lines and Tarmacs are automatically rounded. if the angle is shallower than 137 degrees,
distance between points less than 25m.
rule of thumb: for a curve of 90 degrees 4 points are enough.
- Another focus is on the intersections of the taxiways. My recommendation here is to add 2 more points to the curves.
The rounding algorithm always leaves the first and last segment straight, so you should always add a segment before the area to be rounded.
Tarmac under buildings:
- Even if it doesn't look like it on the aerial photos, it is advisable to always place a Tarmac area under a building.
At this area the terrain is smoothed and cleaned and you get a cleaner result.
