I need some help. My runways won't show up in AFCAD, so I tried going to the help file, but then when I click on it, nothing happens; it's like the help file isn't there, but it worked before. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be great. Also, if anyone has any suggestions about how to make my runways appear, that would be excellent. Thanks to all who respond.

Airman. As I mentioned previously, I haven't tried AFCAD with FS9 so I checked it out with one of my own airfields. This is a simple test airfield I created some time ago in FSSC with the runway defined by a Menu Entry. From AFCAD2/File/Open Airport I clicked the "From Specific File" option & selected the BGL file of my new scenery from the Open File button. The airfield shows up perfectly. I can now add the proper FS9 menu entries.

AFCAD Help is a file named Readme.htm. This can be opened in your browser or from Help on the AFCAD menu. If it no longer works you might have deleted the file. It might be a good idea to download AFCAD again. Make sure you get the latest version. It should run from any location on your HD.

Put your cursor on the runway and right-click; Properties will allow you to select the centerline as Runway. If the runway centerline is not there, add one using the Runway Link from the toolbar (next to the taxiway link tool)

it allows you to set up parking, taxiway and aprons for airports. Also allows you to set who parks at what spot.

Doesn't design airports, just parking layouts

AFCAD can't change the visual scenery, just the invisible stuff mentioned here.
