December 2, 200619 yr Greetings all,Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is an "AFCAD"? I know it refers to scenery add-ons, but what does that term stand for? It it just the new runways, other objects (terminals, buildings, etc), AI aircraft, or a combination of all of these?Thanks for your helpRon Ron Priever
December 2, 200619 yr Not sure of acronym, but it is a spin on CAD (computer aided design); I haven't used in awhile but it provides a graphical user interface to create or modify specific airport objects such as runways, ILS, beacons, taxiways, aprons, parking, airport lighting, etc. Not buildings. It is an easy way to adjust the "flow" at an airport used in turn by AI traffic but doesn't directly affect AI. My last use of it was to add the new runway at KSTL along with associated taxiways and landing navaids. It's a free download from AVSIM.The many AFCAD-based files available in the libraries are used primarily to add and modify parking, taxi routes, departing and arrival runways, etc., in support of AI traffic.It is a easy to use and powerful utility.
