So many things to work on these days with scenery projects, now I got another bee in the bonnet.  While a nearby airport looks good with regard to accuracy of runways and general building placement, the default control tower has been placed in between two sets of buildings - problem is, the actual tower is located atop a hi-rise building that itself is built over one of the lower buildings.  No problem adding the hi-rise bit but the default tower sits on it's own about 50 feet away, so the hi-rise cannot be built around the tower.  I checked for earlier posts and came across one that stated it was not possible to remove (via an exclude switch) or otherwise change the default tower.  Please say this isn't so!  Because I saw that damaging post, thought to ask to see if anyone has had any success with this sort of thing before starting out on any more changes.  Also, while adding a new tower atop the hi-rise is not daunting, the prospect of having to add the rotating light beacons is surely so (I don't know how to go about this).  Are there any donwloadable tower replacements that can be used for this purpose?  Once again, I'm asking before jumping in as there is no point starting off on anything if it cannot be feasibly accomplished in the first place.

I last heard that you can edit the default tower location in AFCAD. But I am not quite sure about that. I haven't tinkered with the utility for quite some time.

Thanks - I understand you can edit the viewpoint but not the tower itself.  Can only find out by trying though, thanks for the suggestion.
