AFCAD 2.22.1 (w/e) is a program you use to create the acutal airport, but i'm having troubles after that.

if you just create an airport and throw it in FS, prepare to notice the fact your airport will be in a crater, and the original scenery from FS will still be there. i'd also like to know how to change this

May I suggest using AFCAD 2 by Lee Swordy it's FREE and smiple.

"52. Creating a New Airport From Scratch
In addition to modifying existing stock airports, AFCAD can create a new airport, one that doesn't currently exist in the game.  This can be done at any location.  You can create a visible airport with runways, taxiways, aprons, lights, communications, navaids and ATC. However, since the current version of AFCAD can't create taxiway signs or buildings and other structures, such an airport will be somewhat bare. These features will be available in subsequent releases."

p.s. add scenery using FREE Rwy12
