This should be in the scenery design board...

I've used FSSC, but I think you can use Afcad to do it

AFCAD will make all of the runways,taxiways,parking spaces all of the nav aids and the control tower. But it will not make any buildings. 8)

There's also a tutorial downloadable somewhere here on SimV.

Isn't it almost 0130 where you are? Maybe it's because you're tired

So.. Basically a prehistoric form of AFCAD..

I make up my missions in notepad or wordpad so I keep a seperate copy of what I make for runway settings (buildings, etc.). However, I've been restricted to repainting the texture programmed at the coordinates for the particular (WW1) runway. Is there a means to use Chuck's old runway generator without the markers/lights for these dirt, mud and grass airfields (and some of these planes seem to need a wider than normal runway when taking off in a formation)?

Placing objects isn't so much the issue as runway placements (so the aerial view doesn't look like everyone's running over buildings, trees, etc.)

i worked through the program and it sayed it created the file ok but when i go and fly it doesnt apear as an airport. have i missed something

install the scenery like you would install any other scenery into FS

It might be an idea to try a few existing files before creating your own. It's not difficult but don't try to run before you can walk. My little walkthrough might help. FS2004 Scenery Clinic

i'm going to try AFCAD and see what is like and see if it works. it has created the file and i put it in the addon scenery folder in Fs9 but what do i need to do now. sorry i'm confused by this!!!!!!!

Hi, well i am really new at this, I use AFCAD for my airports and EOD for my objects, but i got trouble with this:
a) Airport doesnt appear on the game (It is on the list, but when i "spawn" in it i am not able to see it)
b)How do i put my EOD buildings in my new airports?
c)I cant convert my EOD buildings into .api formats, why? (It says [insert name of building here] .api path doesnt exist)

ok, that's cool. I am installing RWY12 right now.

And by the way, each time i do click on "create api" it says that it doesnt have a path

When using Chuck Domes Runway Generator Utility Program....

After saving the .bgl file it will appear in the FS 2004 main folder.
Give it a name of your choice, eg; "Manston airstrip".
It will now be: "Manston airstrip.bgl".

Generate a new folder. Call it "Manston airstrip".
Generate a new Folder. Call it "scenery". Put it into the "Manston airstrip" Folder.
Into the "scenery" folder you have just made put your "Manston airstrip.bgl" file.
...sorted....

Now in the opening menu in FS 2004 go to Settings > Scenery. Click on "Add new scenery".
Browse to the Main FS 2004 Scenery File. Locate your "Manston airstrip" folder. Click on it.
It will now be added to the list of scenery under the name "Manston airstrip"... ...!
It will now appear when you start FS 2004, (and if you have FS Navigator it will also appear on the GPS Map)... ...!

Give that a try... ...!

The same principle applies whenever adding new scenery.

a) Check the coordinates. Maybe you placed it in an ocean. 

b) Rwy12

c) Documentation for Rwy12, includes a tutorial and FAQ. From the Rwy12 Team.

If you want to remove the buildings and other default scenery objects you'll need to create an 'exclude'. One of  the simpler utilitites to do this is 'Excbuilder V2.0', available here:http://www.scenery.org/design_utilities_b.htm

It uses an add-on module (.dll) called FSConnect to get the needed coordinates from the Sim. Available here:http://www.dirks-software.ca/
