AFCAD read error

Featured Replies

I installed Ray Smith's AFCAD for CYVR and modified it by adding parking for cargo aircraft and placing them in their proper location.I opened, saved and complied the AFCAD a few times as I was not satisfied with the placement of aircraft. I added the AFCAD to my Addon Scenery\Scenery folder. When I exit the flight and close FSX I see there are numerous "Cannot find AFCAD" error messages on my desktop. The airport scenery and AI aircraft are all visible so I am not lacking in that area but for the sake of learning can someone tell me why I am receiving the message?I read that if an AFCAD is compiled many times that the boundaries shrink, is this the issue in my case?Thanks.

Sorry, I have never seen these messages. Can you post an image of them?

I assume you are speaking of Ray's CYVR Afcad for FSX (cyvr_ade_rs_fsx.zip).What program are you using to edit it?It was created with ADE and should edited with that utility only.

Hi David - Yes I used ADE Version 1.47.07 to edit the AFCAD and added parking spots for Fedex, UPS, DHL increasing aircraft parking radii to 36m from the default 24m. The only issue before I received the multiple errors was that I could not view the Purolator 727 cargo aircraft or a Fedex A306 where in that instance all that showed was the landing gear.The error windows were not visable until I shut FSX down and only then did I see them as they would have been hidden behind the FSX UI. As I mentioned I will not be home until Tuesday night at around 17:30 PST and will run FSX with the edited AFCAD. Thanks,
