December 26, 200322 yr Hello Gang!I am in the process of installing a scenery for SCEL (Santiago, Chile's Intl. Airport - AMB). The scenery is very nice indeed, and comes equipped with an AFCAD file. This is an FS2002 scenery, therefore, the AFCAD file configuration is a .txt file, rather than a .bgl file, as it is in FS2004.Can a good soul out there enlighten me as to how easy or how difficult it would be to convert the AFCAD file for SCEL to an FS2004 AF2_SCEL.bgl file so my AI can park at the right spots in this new airport scenery?Thanks in advance for any help!Sincerely,Dennis D.

December 26, 200322 yr It's not possible to directly convert it. I would suggest just creating a new AFCAD file, or modding an existing one (thats in AFCAD2 format) if possible for easiest results.
December 27, 200322 yr Author Hi Dennis,Visit http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulator/ , article index, fs2004sdk, and download the BGLCOMP_SDK. It explains the new format for the scenery files. You will find the information about the inputs for airport files. However, as the other poster indicated, it is easier to start with AFCAD211+ and update the existing or make a new airport.W. Sieffert Bill Sieffert
