Changing runway numbers with Afcad /Where to see ?

Featured Replies

Hello guys,With Afcad 2 I have changed the runway numbers for Amsterdam Schiphol to match the new system.However , when starting up Fs and looking at the runways in the Go to airport windows I only see the old numbers.Any suggestions ?Thanks,

It is somewhat tricky only changing the runway numbers with the present AFCAD221. There are parts of the original airport *.bgl that are still used, such as approaches, ILS names, etc. Once you change the runway numbers, the flight simulator cannot associate these items to the airport.I found that I needed to decompile the AFCAD file, the original airport *.bgl and add many additional items to the updated AFCAD airport file to ensure it contained all the new approaches, etc. Once recompiled, I can look at the AFCAD file with AFCAD but I cannot make any changes with AFCAD because a newly saved AFCAD file, deletes all the additional add-ins made manually.W.
