Contents:

This file contains a collection of 14 macro trees in API format for the
Airport 2.10 or later scenery design program, and the new coming Nova2000
utility program for FS2K, and also in ASD format for version 2.0 or later
Nova2000 is a copyright program by Rafael Garcia Sanchez and is the utility
to generate 3D objects for the FS2K, as terminals, hangars, control towers,
trees, bridges and more.

This file is released as an example of things that the program can perform,
first the program will be able to create static scenery libraries. Static
scenery libraries have a great advantage over macro files when using the
same object quite often, as they reduced file size and also a better fps
in your scenery, as in this case, the same tree can be placed at many places in
a given scenery.

Nova2000 generates perfect trees views and avoid problems that the z-buffer
causes when making trees using the classic tree macro with two crossing planes
as in FS98 and before. All files and macros were created using a beta version
of the program Nova2000.
