I am currently creating an airport using AFCAD, but whenever I fly from it in Flight Simulator, there is autogen scenery like trees and houses etc. in the middle of the runway and airport. How do I get rid of these?

For FS2004:

If you want to remove the buildings and other 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/

For FS2002 you could try FlattEx. http://www.scenery.org/design_utilities_b.htm

An airport created solely with AFCAD2 does not lend itself to having any exclude code functionality. The exclude= code only works when written into the scenery.cfg file.

I use FlattEx to create the initial Exclude= code and then edit it by hand until it's what I want. This I do by creating a NewScenery/Scenery/Texture and placing the *.bgl file(s) in the NewScenery/scenery folder.

This new scenery must be Added to FS9's Library

One of these days, I may experiment with placing the exclude= in another scenery listed in Scenery.CFG; hmmm . . . sounds interesting . . .

If one has a separate scenery folder for their new airport it's no big deal to write an exclude= code for the desired area: it's just North; West; South and East (coordinates counterclockwise); e.g.,

Exclude=N49 56.72,W126 39.27,N49 56.30,W126 39.18,all
// Exclude=N49 50.34,W126 39.43,N49 55.94,W126 39.32,all

The remmed line ( // ) was created by FlattEx and the functioning one was edited my me.
