I don't think it's very likely, simply because of the MASSIVE amounts of data
which have to be entered for even the simplest features.  Note that the Flight
Simulator has been around for almost 8 years, starting with the Apple II ver-
sion, and no feature editor has shown up yet...

  If Sublogic wants to, they can certainly reformat and release their existing
scenery disks for the Mac.  I've got the "Star" scenery disk for the SF Bay
Area, and it's pretty neat.  I like flying through the blimp hanger at Moffet
Field - try that in your real plane!
