AFCAD help

Postby Viper22 » Tue Feb 28, 2006 4:06 pm

I am currently creating an airport using AFCAD, but whenever I fly from it in Flight Simulator, there is autogen scenery like trees and houses etc. in the middle of the runway and airport.  How do I get rid of these?

For FS2004:

If you want to remove the buildings and other scenery objects you'll need to create an 'exclude'. One of

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

An airport created solely with AFCAD2 does not lend itself to having any exclude code functionality. The exclude= code only works when written into the scenery.cfg file.

I use FlattEx to create the initial Exclude= code and then edit it by hand until it's what I want. This I do by creating a NewScenery/Scenery/Texture and placing the *.bgl file(s) in the NewScenery/scenery folder.

This new scenery must be Added to FS9's Library

One of these days, I may experiment with placing the exclude= in another scenery listed in Scenery.CFG; hmmm . . . sounds interesting . . .

If one has a separate scenery folder for their new airport it's no big deal to write an exclude= code for the desired area: it's just North; West; South and East (coordinates counterclockwise); e.g.,

Exclude=N49 56.72,W126 39.27,N49 56.30,W126 39.18,all
// Exclude=N49 50.34,W126 39.43,N49 55.94,W126 39.32,all

The remmed line ( // ) was created by FlattEx and the functioning one was edited my me.
