AFCAD 2.21! I love it! But how do you do this?

[ScottyB]

Hi,

As im reletavely new to flight simming i am still finding out about various addons. I have seen AFCAD things everywhere but have never really considered downloading it (dont know why ). But... just the other day i was told do get AFCAD 2.1 so i did.

1. I started off by editing Mt Cook airport with taxiways, parking etc. Then i made Motueka airport. But when i went to fly at Motueka there was a tree in the middle of the runway! Is the a way i can just delete the tree instead of moving the whole airport?

2. I tried to create a small bush strip near Milford sound but as the terrain is rough and on an angle, the runway was floating in mid air. Can i flatten out the area somehow?

3. I deleted the Hokitka airport and i am trying to create a new one. Where the old airport was, is a "X" shape in the grass where the two crossing runways were. I am trying to fit the new runways to this "X" shape but i cannot seem to do it.

4. And lastly, how many feet are main runways at airports such as Nelson, Hokitika, Q Town etc. (Just the smaller airports)

Thanks you guys, ScottyB

To remove the tree, you need a program that will make "exclude" files, such as excbuilderV2. (there are others)
Ive done a complete scenery for Motueka Airport, see this link .... http://nzff.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6901
The scenery is available on Avsim,..... here..... http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...atID=fs2004scen

To create flattens, you need a program like FSTFlatten. (there are others).

Ive also done a scenery for Hokitika Airport,..... here ........ http://nzff.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7135
The scenery is available from Avsim,............. here...... http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...atID=fs2004scen
and a fix for it here............. http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...atID=fs2004scen

For info on airport runways and other airport details, you will need an AIP Chart for that particular airport.
Charts available here........................ http://www.aip.net.nz/NavWalk.aspx?section=CHARTS
