They were made using the standard airport editor and standard objects. I decide what I want them to have, then I see which objects can be manipulated to get the desired result.
For example, in the Middle Earth employee area, the industrial-looking building is a gas station that is turned backwards and embedded in the hill. The colored tops of the lake castle are tents lowered onto the walls. In Skydrome 2, the platform support arms under the dirigibles are radio towers that were rotated.
These types of airports require many hours of work. I have spent hours just getting a few objects positioned correctly. Some people spend time making aircraft; I enjoy making airports.
I have more ideas, but I need a bigger catalog of objects. There are many free 3D models, I just need to learn how to export them from Blender in a format that can be imported in RealFlight.

Objects are typically shared in airports that are uploaded to the swap pages. If I am able to convert objects, then I will include them in airports. If I find a way to convert a lot of objects then I may create airports that are just for sharing objects. But at the moment it is just wishful thinking because I have not yet been able to convert any objects.

Blender is free, but I found another solution. Vectary.com is a free online FBX editor that is much simpler and I have successfully completed some test imports. It will take afew days for me to learn how to use it and to document the process. I will provide the information in another message conversation https://forums.realflight.com/index.php?threads/help-with-exporting-static-airport-objects-from-blender.58728/).
