IS there a way to load a background image in AFCAD?  The reason is I have some photoscenery and although the runways align the taxiways, aprons, do not.  If I had the background image then I could trace the taxi,...

Not that I know off but you can do it with Sbuilder .  I did this to create my RAF Tinwald Downs scenery from a post war image.

Did you use AFcad to create the runway and sbuilder for the rest or a combo of both.

I always use AFCAD for runways, taxiways, aprons etc.

Thanks.
     Okay,  What I do is skew to the location of the taxiway/ apron on the background image and then draw it with AFCAD.
