new rwy's done the flatten, exclude but when I open up FS all the a/c have sunk a little,about 1/2 way down the wheels.

If you've checked that the airport level and runway levels are the same and that doesn't help, try dropping a copy of the AFCAD into Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\World\scenery\

what does this do ???
im having alot of trouble with the hamz afcad once i took the grass out the whole thing was little mountians over the runways ,ive been spending alot of time in this area ,trying to work out how it all works and im getting to the point of have the dam green grass and get over it ...
ive tryed the flatten ,laying this and that and there are just not enough info around to tell you how to work the software ,,
like afcad wheres the tutorials for it ????
or the flatten wheres the tutor for that ???
just seems like you have to ask people on forums all the time about it ,thats if they want to tell you or answer you ...

Apparently it sets the airport level from a higher priority dataset and so stops AI from sinking.
