August 3, 200322 yr Is there a way to enter a new airport into the AFD of FS9? I am importing some scenery I made for FS2K2 into FS9. the scenery shows up fine, but the airport doesn't show up in the Got To Airport menu. I am assuming the old AFD.bgl file isn't working in FS9.Thanks.Dave Spurlock
August 4, 200322 yr Hi Dave.The airports in FS2004 are located in BGL files of the new type. They are the AP9*.bgl.For example, in 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9SceneryNamcScenery' there is a file called "AP924160.BGL" which contains my home airfield of Lake Lawn ( C59 ).If I remove this file, the runway, and all references to Lake Lawn ( and the rest of the area's airfields ) disappear, both visually and the menu reference.So there are no more AFD bgls. As soon as we figure out the new BGL structure ( with MS's help I hope ), then we can add airfields.A little text replacement with a hex editor, and I own the airfield:Dickhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/27886.jpg
August 4, 200322 yr A bit offtopic, but Lee Swordy has said, that in FS09 editing AFD data also edits the visual scenery. For example, if You move a taxiway point 15m north then in FS09 the visual taxiway has also moved.
August 4, 200322 yr Okay, so the bottom line is; not yet. But some smart folks are working on it.Paraphrased to make sure I understand :-)Dave Spurlock
