The tutorials cover different subjects, like GMax, BGLC source code tweaking and many other. Everybody is invited to add his own experiences, tutorials and how-to-do's. Finally the glossary provides an overview of some of the more technical terms used in scenery design discussions. This should enable new designers to learn the scenery design slang faster.
