;)Ok let's get started ;D
Creating Parking:Man I hope this is not to much info at one time if so let me know and I will try to break it down into 2 parts

Click the Parking Tool button on the toolbar. The pointer will change to a parking tool symbol. You can pre-select the parking type and parking code (airline) from the drop-down lists beside the Parking Tool button, or you can create the parking spots first and set the types and codes later.

You can use two methods to create parking:

You can place a parking spot by just clicking on the window while the parking tool is active, or if you need to precisely place parking spots in the visual scenery, at boarding bridges (jetways) for example, you can use the aircraft position on the Flight Simulator window as a reference. Slew the aircraft   (press y key then ctrl s )until it is positioned where you want to put a parking spot then press the letter

Hey Dyfly, is what you wrote directions or a novel? ;D

Arkie, he is referring to the toolbar in AFCAD, download it here at SimV.

;)BE58D, I think the novle part is more like it.  I got the AFCAD program and am looking at it now.  I may have bitten off more than I can chew.  It reads like Gone With the Wind or something.  I am going to try to work it out, if I can't, you will be hearing from me. :-X

;Ddyfly,  I must say you are BAD.  I like it though.  Nothing like playing with the mind of a person who doesn't have much of one to start with.  I will go to AFCAD and see what I can do.  I will be sure to let you know how it works out.  Thanks for the help sir ;)
