Just a quick question concerning AFCAD files...

What would happen if I removed an AFCAD file that the GNZLAP aircraft use to park, say NZOX?

Would the aircraft for the routes that use NZOX just not appear anymore, or would they continually be making touch and goes because there is no room to park...?

There maybe someone else who can answer this but all I know is that when I had no afcad for NZPN on my system I was unable to get the soundsair Cessna 208 to show up at NZWN.
Once i had built and placed the afcad the a/c started showing up !!
That probably doesn't help I know but that's all I know. I suppose you could remove a very active airfield like EGLL and then go to a known departure airport for a known carrier and then see what happens if indeed the aircraft actually appears at the departure field. Might even try that myself.
To be honest most of my testing has been with flightplans into certain airports and we know there are or seem to be various discrepancies with those.

What would happen if I removed an AFCAD file

If there is a stock airport as well, the AI would still fly, but there'd probably be a parking problem, and they'd disappear on landing. (Creating the parking in the right place might have been the big reason to have the AFCAD in the first place).

If it were a non-stock airport created anew with the AFCAD, that leg of the flightplan would disappear.

And of course all the physical features contained in the AFCAD would disappear on removing the file - taxiways, parking etc

Thanks for the replies guys.

The reason I asked was because the NZOX afcad (included in Rob's Great Barrier scenery and also the GNZLAP) includes this little piece of road:



I don't find it annoying as it is hardly noticeable, but I would like to remove it if possible to make a nice clean area for the Aero Club, and as far as I can see, deleting the NZOX afcad is the only way to do this...

Oh. No, that's easily modified, you simply reduce the taxiway width to 1 and it's gone, without losing AI functionality. You familiar with AFCAD? otherwise I can email a revised one.

No, sorry I am not.

Please could you mail me a new one?
