Localizer Antenna Object

Postby investdude » Mon Mar 05, 2012 5:15 pm

Does anyone have any idea how a localizer antenna object could be moved or deleted from a FS2004 airport scenery?

Abbotsford BC is my home airport and the one I do most of my FS2004 flying out of.  Some years ago, runway 07/25 was lengthened at the 25 end.  Using AFCAD I applied the runway extension but now the localizer antenna for the 07 ILS lies across part of the extended runway 25 end and has defied all my attempts to remove it.

Forget Afcad, it's a relic from the old days.

Get ADE9X, it does everything Afcad does and more.

Wanna move that localizer antenna?

Grab it and drag it where you want.

If you want to continue using AFCAD you would need to use a program like ExcBuilder2 to exclude the object.  Then you would need to place a new one (if desired) using a program like Rwy12 or Instant Scenery.

Or you could move it using ADE.  :)

:) Thanks to both JoBee and Tom for replying.  ADE has solved the problem for me.  I was not aware of it but it sure beats AFCAD, although there is a significant learning curve.

I guess the coders of ADE9X wanted to keep away snipes of plagiarism if they copied AFCAD's interface verbatim, like in the case of AFX.

Case in point, since it was stated more than once that the coder of AFCAD had nothing to do with AFX, I find the never explained embarrassing similarities between the two more than damning, since AFX is AFCAD with some more options added almost as an afterthought.

And if to the shifty angle you add that AFX, while payware, cannot do half the things the freeware ADE9X can... wasted money, that's what it is.

For last, the learning curve of ADE9X is more due to habits ingrained while using AFCAD than a real complexity of the program. Once you find your pace with it, ADE9X is as fast a virtual airports CAD as any. :)

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
