Adding Nevada Airports and Getting into Modding

[Aspen23]

I would like to learn hot to mod and I figured the easiest way to start would be to add airports to the NTTR map. They would be great for large operations and can be very strategic areas. It would also be a good way to get into modding. So far I've mapped a total of 72 run ways (including the vanilla runways and 2 are off screen) most being small dirt ones that are used for farming but can accommodate C-17s, A-10s, C-130s, and more. I also noticed I could add Plant 42, Edwards AFB, Mojave Air an Space port, and a few more sizeable airports. I can also add more airports if necessary.

I have 3 questions, is this possible, if so how/where do I start as a noob to modding, anyone wanna help me do this?

 

Thank you for your time as well as any and all help you can give me.nullnull

I recommend you to use the default font, it's much easier to read. 

As for the mods, create a 3D model of your airport, implement it as a static object into DCS and then place it whereever you want.

Just use the regular font.

  The AI won't be able to use it.

You need the SDK for maps and most other stuff, and it is not publicly available. You can attempt making skins, textures, or simple AI units and 3d models, though.

Agreed, ED hasn't released any stuff to make maps, and they probably won't add more airports to it. I mean it would be cool but not probably going to happen.

Are there any mods like that already released?
Static 3D object of an airport for player use?

There's a FARP mod around but I'm not aware of an actual airport mod.
