I'd like to set up some local FS4 scenery disks, using info garnered from

FS4-compatible scenery files? Is there a utility or textfile somewhere?
I would love to complete my collection.
I've only ever seen five scenery disks. I've never heard of the editor.

There are supposedly 7 scenery disks from sublogic.  The editor is sometimes
bound along with the new plane disk, (which includes a new plane editor! Very
powerful!) This package set me back about $40.  You can alter the terrain
as you see fit, and can add airports, lights, shrubbery, buildings, bridges, 
and navaids as well.  This is a very nice addition to the package. The
new planes include a 747-400, Beechcraft Starship, and a seaplane. The
instrument panel is new for the 747-400 (read complicated!). I use the
simulator back to back with Tracon II, which also has available alternate
scenery/sector disks.  This is a helluva combination!
