I don't do any editing within UT, myself, but it is a very comprehensive program. I do download AFCAD 2 files for my favorite airports to get more accurate parking spaces, but that's just a matter of sticking them in your FS9/addon scenery/scenery folder. - Matt D.

Thanx for the site, much appreciated. Actually about the AFCAD, you kinda answered one of my questions. When I installed UT I realized that there are more parking positions but no codes for them. So I have been downloading AFCAD files with parking codes. Now my question is, when I do place these new files into my scenery folder, do I have to remove UT's original file of that same airport. In other words would two AFCAD files of the same airport conflict? Thanx again.

They could.
But it is my under standing that the AFCAD files just add to the existing scenery. But you could have some parking conflicts. I would suggest that you open one of the origanl files with afcad to see what parking codes if any or already there. You may discover there are none if that is the case then use the AFCAD file. if you find some codes you might have two planes fighting for the same gate.If that is the case just move one of the codes

thanx for the info

Seems most of your questions have been answered except the adding flightplans part. I presume you mean you own flightplans: these go in the Extra Traffic Folder in the UT folder in your FS9/FlightOne Folder. If the planes are  there (Aircraft.txt) and the Airports.txt, UT will add them the next time you Compile. Remember with UT: Nothing changes until Compile is run.

p.s. as mentioned, there should be no duplicate AFCADs

actually I was wondering how add a flight that I downloaded from the PROJECT AI website, for example UPS's flight plans. Thanx
