I was hoping someone could help with this. I have made some additional airports in Airport2.6 and they work OK in FS2002. I have noticed the file structure has changed in ACOF, and the folder where the new airports were placed in 2002, is no longer there. Any ideas as to where new airports should be placed in the file structure so they appear in the airport list on the craate a flight menu as normal??

Not sure what you mean by this. The FS2002 scenery I've tried works perfectly well in FS2004. It would depend where you're used to installing your 3rd party scenery. Scenery can be activated from any location on your HD. Providing it's configured correctly it does not need to be in a specific directory. FS2004 (COF) has an Addon Scenery folder just like FS2002. This is the most convenient place to install all 3rd party scenery. The Scenery Library is just the same as in FS2000 & FS2002. The only difference being that you must exit the sim after activating scenery for the first time for the new area to show up.

I'm assuming that Airport has a similar "Create AFD BGL" feature to FSSC. In this case, installing/activating the scenery in the usual way should add the new airport to the menu. I believe the latest version of Airport is 2.95. http://www.airportforwindows.com/news.html

Thanks Hagar, I know the visual scenery will show up by putting it in the addon folder, I was wondering about the airport showing up as a location in the create a flight menu, when you select which airport you want to start from, my added ones are not showing up (ICAO code city, region etc). I was wondering what you needed to do to make that info show up in the airport dialogue box.

Sorry, I have no knowledge of Airport. I suspect it has a "Create AFD BGL" option like FSSC. Providing you fill in the details for your airport properties & export the AFD BGL to the Scenery subfolder of your new scenery it should list your new airport on the COF menu.

Airport 2.95 has a "Create AFD BGL" function. Click "Sections" and then click "Airport Facilities Directory Data".
