Ricardo, If you want to add more a/c to your airport, then you need TTools. To put them where you want them, you need AFCAD.
To add more buildings, hangers, and gates, then get Runway 12 Object Placer.

TTools: http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=34731

AFCAD: http://www.surclaro.com/downloads_c27_50_dateD.html

To remove scenery items you need "Flatten and Exclude".

and here it is: http://www.scenery.org/_downloads/flattex.zip

i have been using this software but i am not sure if iam doing the right thing to get rid of objects. do i select flatten or exculde?

If your trying to flatten hills and valleys, ground mapping, then use Flatten.

If your trying to get rid of a scenery object, such as a tree or building, then you want to use Exclude.

Do you have everything installed correctly?? In FS9 you should have in your Modules folder the FSDConnection.dll.

There are also some other downloads you need to get, to get it to work. They are in the readme, close to the bottom, under system requirements. Let me know if you have all of them and installed.

It is easy to use once you get the hang of it. The only drawback that sucks is quessing the altitude.

Try this....go here and read the 4th and 3rd post from the bottom of the page. http://forums.surclaro.com/ftopic5861.html
The topic applies, and the guy had success removing unwanted items with ExcBuilder v2.0. Best of luck.
