-The [[sdk:scenery_tsc|.tsc file]] is a simple text file that defines the type of scenery object, its 3d model origin on the globe, elevation and use of auto height, its name as short and long version, description text and specific to airports: ICAO code identifier, parking positions, runway endpoints and threshold points, runway width and its approach light system, tower view position and more. We will address some of these features later on in this workshop.+The [[sdk:scenery_tsc|TSC file]] is a simple text file that defines the type of scenery object, its 3d model origin on the globe, elevation and use of auto height, its name as short and long version, description text and specific to airports: ICAO code identifier, parking positions, runway endpoints and threshold points, runway width and its approach light system, tower view position and more.

 The x-axis of the modeling coordinate system points towards east; the y-axis is geographic north and the z-direction is defined up from the earth's geographic center towards the sky. Z is zero at airport elevation if 'auto height' is selected and it is zero at sea level if 'auto height' is not selected. The x-axis of the modeling coordinate system points towards east; the y-axis is geographic north and the z-direction is defined up from the earth's geographic center towards the sky.
