Hi again HughI have to ask what maybe a very dumb question because I am at a stand still. I got TTools and de-compiled the correct file into 3 parts and need to enter this lineVHHX,N22* 18.96',E114* 12.30',0 as it says under the last line in the airport text file. BUT, where can I find the text file to open with notepad? This is my 1st attempt at doing this. Hope I am being clear enough Hugh.......John

John, First {IN MY CASE)I have my T/Tools exe program sitting on my "DESKTOP' (FOR BETTER OR WORSE)When I decompile the appropriate "traffic bgl file' you will find that all three 'source files' are placed on your desktop separately (in notepad form) - open the airport file in notepad, add VHHX.......save...then go back to T/Tools and 'compile' Trydis,Badbiggles2 (Hugh)

If you are not seeing the "txt" extension on the three files which resulted when you decompile the traffic file, be sure to uncheck the line in your Tools/Folder Options/View dialogue which says "hide extensions for known file types".That will make it a lot easier to find the correct file (usually named something like airports.txt) to edit.

If you look at the TTools program window, the place where the text files are located is displayed just below the left hand file list window.Hope this helps,
