DD Design KDCA Editable Via ADE?

Featured Replies

Could anyone confirm please that AFCAD file for KDCA is editable via ADE. Rumors were that neither DD JFK nor EWR are editable.

 

Thanks

DD has a free demo for all of their sceneries.  Can't believe anyone would want to modify DD's KDCA!!

Not sure, but he may want to update the gates (Airline designations) in the AFCAD or the gates themselves if they change.

I dunno, I just opened the KDCA bgl in ADE.  I didn't do too much, but what I did do worked fine.

I own it, but I don't think I have started a flight there since I bought it. I was going to start a flight there tonight, but the airline codes are really outdated. They used a half arsed version of what it was pre AA merger - lazy for payware imho. They need to be completely redone, and I don't have time for that tonight.

That aside, I don't know why an airport would not be able to be edited. I do know that if it wasn't created with ADE you need to import the approach data before saving. That said, it has been a while since I went on a ADE modifying kick, so things may have changed.

When you I edited the gate codes in KJFK DD airport for my AI when I try to compile it throws up an error and will not compile. no problem at KMIA and all the Seattle airports. I think its may because its close to KLGA as the error is something to do with taxiway 36 which is not at KJFK, I have not tried KLGA yet I will see what happens when I do. 

PS I edited KLGA no problem and I went back into KJFK and the error is { Taxi Path #1291 non existent Runway #36  at airport KJFK } 4 counts of this error, using the list tool will not find it.

I had no problems editing KADW (Andrews AFB) with ADE, and it's part of the same WashingtonX package.  I had to get rid of the jetway at the terminal...no such thing at Andrews.

Errors if you compile are because of bugs in their afcads but tell them that and you will get banned from the forums and accused of piracy and stealing their IP. I wish he'd get sued out of existence.
