Is there a program similar to that of SCM2004 for checking duplicate afcads in FSX.

1 Make a shortcut on your desktop for the folder which contains the scenery.cfg file and one for the main FSX folder.2 Before using SCM2004 copy the scenery.cfg file to the main FSX folder.3 Do with SCM2004 what you want to do.4 After finishing with SCM2004 copy the scenery.cfg file from the main FSX folder to the folder where the scenery.cfg file exists.That's the way I do it.

I believe you are thinking of ScanAFD, which IIRC works only in FS2004.http://library.avsim.net/search.php?Search...t&Go=SearchHans Hartmann's SCM2004 is a "Scenery Config Manager" (originally developed for FS2004 which does still work with FSX by adding 2 custom made REG files and CMD mode batch files to toggle path information in the Windows registry at start-up of that utility).SCM2004 will not scan for AFCADs, however. :(http://library.avsim.net/search.php?Search...t&Go=SearchScruffyduck et.al. have an "FSX Airport Scanner" which works in conjunction with Airport Design Engine (ADE) that you may wish to consider using in FSX:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID...amp;DLID=146392Hope this helps ! :( GaryGB

@GSaldenThanks for the tip....that is also very useful.@GaryGBI do realize after posting that I made an error, I actually meant SCANAFDThanks will check them out

@GSaldenHi Gerard:SCM2004 is a great utility, isn't it ? :( Here's the files I use in WinXP for SCM2004 with both FS9 and FSX; I'd welcome ideas on other ways to do this without putting Scenery.Cfg at risk:For FSX1.) COPY the BOLD text below into NotePad2.) Edit D:\SCM2004 to your own SCM2004 install location3.) Save as "SCM2004_FSX.bat" in your own SCM2004 install folder locationNOTE: In NotePad, set "Save as type" to "All Files" to get desired file extension rather than TXT)REGEDIT.EXE /S D:\SCM2004\HKCU_Software_SCM2004_FSX.regCALL D:\SCM2004\SCM2004.exe1.) COPY the BOLD text below into NotePad2.) Edit "FS Path"= line to active FSX Scenery.Cfg file location for your Windows version3.) Edit "Set Path"= line to your own SCM2004 install location and SCM2004 "FSX Area Sets" folder name/location3.) Save as "HKCU_Software_SCM2004_FSX.reg" in your own SCM2004 install folder locationWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SCM2004]"FS Path"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users.WINDOWS\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\FSX\\""Backup"="1""Set Path"="D:\\scm2004\\Scenery_Area_Sets_FSX"1.) Open your active FSX Scenery.Cfg file (located in the folder for your Windows version) in NotePad2.) Save As: "Scenery.Scm" file in that same folder location (do not save any changes to original Scenery.Cfg)3.) Exit NotePad and save any changes to Scenery.ScmFor FS2004 (FS9)1.) COPY the BOLD text below into NotePad2.) Edit D:\SCM2004 to your own SCM2004 install location3.) Save as "SCM2004_FS9.bat" in your own SCM2004 install folder location REGEDIT.EXE /S D:\SCM2004\HKCU_Software_SCM2004_FS9.regCALL D:\SCM2004\SCM2004.exe1.) COPY the BOLD text below into NotePad2.) Edit "FS Path"= line to active FS9 Scenery.Cfg file location in the main root install folder of FS20043.) Edit "Set Path"= line to your own SCM2004 install location and SCM2004 "FS9 Area Sets" folder name/location3.) Save as "HKCU_Software_SCM2004_FS9.reg" in your own SCM2004 install folder location Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SCM2004]"FS Path"="D:\\FS2004\\""Backup"="1""Set Path"="D:\\scm2004\\Scenery_Area_Sets_FS9"1.) Open your active FS9 Scenery.Cfg file (located in the main root install folder of FS2004) in NotePad2.) Save As: "Scenery.Scm" file in that same folder location (do not save any changes to original Scenery.Cfg)3.) Exit NotePad and save any changes to Scenery.ScmFinally, create a shortcut to each batch file (SCM2004_FS9.bat and SCM2004_FSX.bat); double-click one per SCM2004 session to test each for functionality.Hope these ideas help ! :( GaryGB
