hi everybody, im new here

i want to modify an existing airport, i have downloaded and installed AFCAD, and im going to use it for defining the taxiways etc, but how can i texture the taxiways, tarmac etc with my own textures? and how can i put signs in the floor? like in these pictures... can this be done with AFCAD? and if not, how did they did it?
thanks in advance

Nice shots. I love the detail.

However, I have to be a critic for a moment.

1. All images must be NO WIDER than 800 pixels.

2. All images must be NO HEAVIER than 100kb.

3. Linking of images from sites other than SimViation is PROHIBITED.

Your images are too wide and too heavy and they must be directly uploaded to SimViation before posting.

What first comes to mind, is you would create a flat ploygon or "plane" as the shape of the layout of the airport make a texture then apply. So what your seeing is something thats made in G-max or FSDS, sure it's Gmax. Like how you make taxi ways in AFCAD is what you would do in G-max, simular senareo.

katahu: ops, sorry i didnt knew it. now i think its all ok

skynoz: thanks, so then its done in gmax and exported to the game as if it was a building or anything like this? great, im new to fs editing but i have experience in 3dsmax, so it will be easier

but, correct me if im wrong, with gmax i make all the "visual" part, but I still need to make the taxiways, parkings, etc in afcad (the "logical" part of it, i mean, to let fs know where is everything)?

sorry im completely newbie to all this

yah, you can build all the building that you want for scenery, then what most companys use like Fly Tampa, they would put a plane togther shape it to the runway shap and parking layout etc. Then when they make a AFCAD, that file wont consits of any taxi ways or parking or "Tarmac".
