Today I saw a screenshot of a new AFCAD-look-alike program, but for FSX. It'll make XML-files and then using a program called XML2BGL.exe then convert them to BGL files, ready to use i FSX. Screenshot can be found here: This is brilliant news and exactly what we were looking for. Anyone working with the beta yet?

Its tricky to do en-route navaids or fixes because they are embedded in the scenery files. An idea might be to download the Airspace update from ;) . Alex

Freeware: Must have volcano photoreal: NZ Freeware mesh (not a high resoultion, but still better than default): All other airports: Payware: Awesome Mountains Mesh: Photoreal cities and airports: >nzflag<

I've got the annotation tool for FS2002 but need to learn how to use it. The main thing I want is that I can place autogen, updated my scenery so everyone that downloads it can get that much trees plus I want them to be tropical

I have one for Ohakea made in XML specifically for FSX, I can send it to you when I get home Sunday night. Thanks

Thanks guys - I'll have a look at my NZQN Afcad files and see whether the update will fix it. Cheers

oh ok

After Easter I'll coerce Ian into a visit to Wigram for a photoshoot. We should be able to have something started by the end of the month. me needed to be coerce'd :lol: must remember to bring my sleepin bag home :P

Ok- well ive put a request in for work to buy that data so hopefully that will fix it (in relation to my terrain mesh) Cheers

Thank you :clap:

There's also, Rex, Impulse, JetStar and Virgin Blue

yeah checked it out and the "tennis courts" as we refer to them are B737/A320 and below for parking.

i second that, first thing i install is the 75mesh (all i can afford at the moment), i too have to seek permission from the boss. you can find scenery files on flightsim.com or avsim aswel. follow the readme in the package and you will be fine, any problems ask away here, sure someone will be able to help

Hey HCP, Im glad you like the AFCAD, it took awhile to get right. First of all, If I use this AFCAD and RealNZ Auckland City, I get the following: Yeah the AFCAD wasn't tested or made for this particular scenery so yeah it doesnt fit in too well with RealNZ. If I use this AFCAD, RealNZ Auckland City AND the 'auckland_real_nz_airports.zip' This AFCAD was made to fit with the Ardmore scenery, so thats why it works best with it. As for the missing grass runway, this is a scenery issue as the scenery has its own sorta AFCAD for what you see (runway lights etc). The grass taxiway as...

That worked perfectly! :clap: Thank you :D Matthew You are very Welcome Matthew. Only too happy to help wherever i can. Lawrie. >nzflag<

I've been interested in the FSX airbridge SDK info, it looks quite fun. If you like, and are happy to do the necessary running around regarding photos and other resources, I'd certainly like to turn this into a tutorial for my site. That's provided I can get it working:)

KAG, I wouldnt mind having a look at that. Does it fit with the auckland real nz airports scenary ('auckland_real_nz_airports.zip' on avsim) I am thinking the problem is something in the scenary. The really weird thing is that it only does it in one direction, from AFC to the taxiway. Coming from Taxiway into AFC apron, it doesnt do it??!!? aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh :angry: I am thinking I am just going to have to wait patiently for Robin to put out the auckland airports, or I will just have to build my own... <_<

...1 minut late...

ZK-TJL is a Dunedin-ite, no doubt he'll give you a hand
