afcad help

Featured Replies

I would like to fix a problem that I think is done using an afcad file but not sure

1. How do you read these files

2.where do you get the software to read the files

The reason I want to change a particular airport is that I've just started using UT2 and I've noticed that aircraft consistantly use the emergency runway that runs parallel with the main runway at EGKK I use the uk2000 extreme Gatwick and have it fully up to date.

You can  modify airports with ADE (Airport Design Editor). But the only way I've found to stop ATC selecting a particular runway is to mark it as closed. Others may have found a better solution.

Your problem is UT2.

 

I also have UK2000 EGKK, but with WoAI, and AI traffic uses the regular runway only.

You can download and use ADE or buy and use AFX to adjust runway control. It is possible using either airfield editor to specify whether any particular runway end can be used for landing or take-off or both. I use UT2 and this runway control technique all the time. Assigning two parallel runways as one for landing and one for take-off can expedite traffic flow in and out of airports.

I know ADE lets you specify whether a runway is available for takeoff or landing, but that didn't work for me. FSX ATC (Default) still selects the runway anyway. Maybe something specific to my setup.
