Have just loaded FS2004, and with a lot of addons saved for use in FS2002, some of these included modified AFCAD files. Problem is, I cannot get them to "take" when using FS2004 - does anyone know if these files have to be somehow adapted, or am I out of luck? With AFCAD open, I imported the modified files into FS9 and still no success. ???

" . . . am I out of luck?"
Yes.
FS2k2 AFCAD files are *.txt and FS9 (FS2004) are *.bgl

Apples and oranges. Use Lee Swordy's FREE AF2v.221 to edit FS9 AFCADs. The prgram works the same but outputs *.bgl files

P.S. Always search the Web first as the AF2_file.bgl you want has probably been done already. Edited AF2 files are placed in your Addon Scenery Folder and automatically load when the sim is restarted.
