Can AFCAD files be extracted from any of the FS2002 cds? I need the default files for Luton, Stanstead, Heathrow, and Gatwick, as they're all wrong, now!

Lesson: Always use backups!

If you've got the latest edition of AFCAD, I believe you can restore airports

Been there, done that.
Not backing up files before you modify them sure does hurt, don't it?

If you have your FS2002 CDs, you should be able to pull those areas and facility data off it.
What I do is when I modify files, I'll make a folder and put a copy of the one I want to work on in it. That way the original file is still in it's home, intact. Then when I want to use the new file, just rename it, "orig_xxxx" and swap the files in their folders and you're good to go.
If it doesn't work, then swap them back, and re-rename the original, and you're back where you started.

Thanks Andrew, that seemed to work.

Will be doing backups from now on, even if it is a bit dull...!
