FSX Airport- Adding new taxiway and AI help

Hi. My hometown airport isn't what I was hoping it would be on FSX. A few years back, they added a taxiway, larger parking area, and a fuel depot. FSX has none of these, and the runway dosent have the right side markings or the VASI lights we just installed last year. How can I use AFCAD 2.21 to edit this? Also, I would like to have a few Cessna's at my airport. We have an average about 15 planes in/out a day and I'm the only one there on FSX :(   Also, If I make the apron bigger, a few pine trees will be on the tarmac, how can I remove these?


Thanks,
-Alex

I moved some of my FS9 AFCAD's and airport scenery over to FSX but needed to make
some adjustments. In one case, I had to create an exclude BGL to remove to old airport
and clear the autogen ( buildings, trees, etc ) around the area.
 After that, my FS9 AFCAD and scereny replaced the now barren area with "my" aitport.

Read the FSX SDK , specifically the BGL Compiler SDK, for information on creating
and "exclusion rectangle".

Some of my AFCADS and scenery ported over without needing any mods but it
sounds like you need to go the exclude route.
