New airport?

Postby Jared » Thu Mar 04, 2004 10:22 pm

Ok here's the deal, I downloaded mckinley field (aka Martin Field) for canton Ohio where my family and I used to watch the skydivers all weekend long every summer. while it was designed for 2002, it works well in 2004.

Now I'm going to try and add some realistic real world air traffic just like the good ole days...

I know that to do this I need to add the airport to my airports.txt file, create an afcad file for it with all of the hidden goodies that come with that...

my only real problem is trying to figure out where to get the airport coordinates so that the runway is in the right spot? Is there an easy way to do this? or is it all trial and error?

if anybody could give me a heads up, I would appreciate it greatly,

thanks for looking...

if you right click on the afcad file you should get a box with the cords, remove the last 2 digits from the N & W so it looks like below

CYBG,N48* 19.70',W70* 59.77',522
If there is an airshow with in 2 states of me I'm there
