Nice work Keagan!

Personally, I don't like the 'green AFCAD grass', and Charl recently re-did NZOX to keep the parking spaces but loose the fake looking background... perhaps this could be utilized in an upcoming GNZLAP project?

Yeah a more browny-greeny colour would have been better but that doesnt exsit in AFCAD so I just left it as is... If a new AFCAD.exe comes out ill change it lol..

Cheers for the comments, I enjoy feedback, never got much on my NZAA Afcads...

Pics would be great.

BTW I have discovered DIRT in AFCAD!
It does away with that totally ghastly green that AFCAD delivers.
Mal Lloyd taught me this trick:
When you are quite finished with the AFCAD, as a last step create a closed taxiway say 40' wider than the runway, and sliide it under the rwy.
It gives a nice edge and BONUS does away with flatten switches because it, erm, flattens!
