Hey everyone.
I am working on a custom airport, for FSX.
The airport is.
14ARD @ Gorrie. the airport is located in the Northern Territory of Australia......
14ARD was an Aircraft Repair Depot during WWII.....The base was disassembled in 1945 after the war ended.....
I need to move the airport in FSX just a few hundred feet......
I do not have Prokey installed into ADEX, and am unable to run it with it installed....
Does anyone know another way to move the airport, without having to recreate the entire airfield......or move everything one at a time......
Thanks.
Craig.

Hi Craig and Welcome to NZFF , you have to build a custom field using a program like AFX would be the easiest tool to rebuild , "The base was disassembled in 1945 after the war ended" if it was one of those metal planked airfields a couple hundred feet would not matter would it ? , i tried to search for Gorrie in FSX ?
PS: I'll get Admin to get your name changed to the correct trucker17

I'm using ADEX, to build the airfield....and used Google earth for the Long and Lat for it.....But when everything including the vehicle paths are in place, everything runs across the highway.....Here are 2 pictures.....
First is 14 ARD today, or whats left of it....

Yeah, the only way I know to move an entire airport is ADE with the prokey. You could shift the highway, I suppose.

Yeah....Unfortunately, my system is to small to add much more to it....I could do it with my home system, but right now that's 1,579 miles away....

I'll go thru my pictures and see what I have......I usually only take pictures when I have my daughter with me......She likes to visit places like the U.S.S. Constitution, Constitution hall, Mount Rushmore, etc......I have a few shots of my tractor/ trailor in different places......

It's quite possible the road is the thing that isn't in the correct place. I'd do a quick trace in Google earth then use FSX KML to convert to a road bgl to check.
