The thread in the FS2004 section seems to imply that you have to have a "paid for registered" version of FSUIPC in order to run the new version of AFCAD.

The following is an excerpt (taken in the spirit of "fair use") from the html manual that comes from the new AFCAD....and seems to say that this is not the case:

"AFCAD can be used by itself for most airport design work but placing taxiways and parking around buildings and structures can be awkward, as building are not currently displayed on AFCAD. This makes it especially difficult to mate gate parking spots with terminal boarding bridges. For that kind of work it is preferable to link AFCAD with Flight Simulator using FSUIPC. You can start Flight Simulator and ‘slew’ around an airport in a virtual aircraft and crosshairs will move on the AFCAD map to show your location. Alternatively the AFCAD map can be locked to your aircraft position like a moving map display. FSUIPC is an add-on program that, among its other uses, allows third party software to interface with Flight Simulator.

FSUIPC does not come with AFCAD but it can be downloaded from the following site:

www.schiratti.com/dowson.html

Note that FSUIPC is free to users who only need to use its basic functionality, such as linking AFCAD to FS. You only need to register and pay to use its more advanced features, which are not required for AFCAD.  AFCAD registers itself with FSUIPC when it starts up.

FSUIPC comes with documentation, but it is not necessary to read it for this application. All you have to do is copy the file FSUIPC.dll into the MODULES folder off your main Flight Simulator folder, for example:

…\FS9\MODULES

That’s all you need to do to link AFCAD with Flight Simulator."


So... there you have it.

best,

PS:  The new AFCAD looks absolutely   Lee Swordy outdid himself.  ANd the projected next release sounds even better.

Has anyone had this problem. tried to make new parking spots but it won't drop when you push the letter o.I did review the mannual and selected the green parking icon ???
