Gates ???

Postby PSW » Tue Nov 11, 2003 9:12 pm

Hello,

I have just downloaded AFCAD and I dragged a CYYZ AFCAD gate file to the Installer and no gate appeared in CYYZ. Do I need to put AFCAD or install it somewhere because I didn't ? Thanks.

AFCAD doesn't create the graphics that display the gates in FS2k2.  It puts in the info needed for the ATC system to use the point you select as a gate.

You could for example place a gate in the middle of the active runway and start the sim from there.

Thanks from there but what do you use to create the graphics IN fs2002 since AFCAD doesn't do that ? Thanks.

PSW,

There's no quick answer to this - perhaps it would be a good start to browse the scenery design forum here and see what you can get from that.

There may be scenery jetway macros that may already exist 'out there', that you can put into the scenery you want, but you'd need to search here (or elsewhere) to find them.

Good luck!

:)
