That tool to which he refers uses batch files and the decompiler tool used in that package has been reported to leave out some things in the decompile/recompile phase. Actually BOTH decompilers available leave different things out (reportedly) so one has to use both and compare to get 100% of the data, it would seem.There is no simple fast way at present.The way I do it is:1) find which file in FSX stores your airport (APxxxx.bgl)2) decompile using bglxml by Alessandro Antonini.3) remove out the airport data that you want to modify. (/Airport tag) and put it in a new xml, such as EGGD_new.xml.4) attempt to recompile the new xml using ***FS9's*** SDK's bglcomp. It will not work, but it will give you valuable error messages.4) use the error msg's to determine what to remove from your xml file.5) after much tweaking, it should compile using FS9's bglcomp.6) now it should load in AFCAD. Make changes, save the bgl. (optional)7) the bgl you have will be FS9-compliant. It will be missing some features of FSX bgls such as Jetways and ground vehicle tarmac drawings.8) decompile the bgl using bglxml.9) add in the FSX data, such as ground vehicle apron tracks, jetways, and so on.10) be SURE to add your /DeleteAirport data field in your xml, to replace those parts of the default EGGD with your new one. (see FSX SDK for details of this xml tag)11) recompile your xml using ***FSX*** bglcomp. You are done.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2530 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian
