New AFCAD...... grass strips?

[JBaymore]

I just did my first airport editing with the new AFCAD for fs2004.

You could try FSSC to put an exclusion zone or something over the airport? Then possibly Afcad wouldn't make changes to the visual scenery - its only a thought but it might work.
Im going to experiment with VNLK as Im having trouble getting my scenery of bristol airport working with AFCAD's tracks and need to get to know this new afcad by creating a new airport. So if I find out anything Ill let you know.
One thing I think is certain however is AFCAD cant put those lovely lines over a FSSC'ed Airport  :(

Thanks Birdman.  I'll look into it.

BTW... I don't think that this version of AFCAD can create a totally NEW airport.  It can only edit existing airports.  If I remember correctly it is mentioned in the html help file.... that function will be in aq future release.

best,

YES YOU CAN HAVE GRASS, WATER, DIRT,ETC. ETC.

Make your taxi way then click on the taxi line .
The link properties window will come up and just scroll on the surface menu.
You can shut off the lights also.

Hey people You have to play with AFCAD to find out what it can do
AFCAD for 2002 was GREAT! AFCAD for 2004 is the BEST so far.

Just gotta take a little time to find what it can doo.

Thanks ronfad  ;), I thought I had read in the Readme file that the surface could not be changed and that was something for future releases. I must have been mistaken.

I agree that the new AFCAD is amazing. They've done a really great job adding all the new features so quickly. I look forward to the future when the Aprons can be manipulated, then we wouldn't have a clash between scenery design and AFCAD.
