IS there a way to load a background image in AFCAD? The reason is I have some photoscenery and although the runways align the taxiways, aprons, do not. If I had the background image then I could trace the taxi,...

Not that I know off but you can do it with Sbuilder . I did this to create my RAF Tinwald Downs scenery from a post war image.

Did you use AFcad to create the runway and sbuilder for the rest or a combo of both. I have use Sbuild. Not sure if I can use it to make the taxiways,....

I always use AFCAD for runways, taxiways, aprons etc. I have only used Sbuilder for the background image, VTP poly and flatten. I also use

Gmax - buildings etc
Arno's Obplacer - for placing Gmax mdls
Excludebuilder2 - for excluding default scenery
Photoshop - to create textures
DXTbmp - to convert 24bit bmp to FS compatiable textures
Treeplanter V4 - as the name suggests

Hope this helps

Edit: Just to clarify, you mention that the taxiways do not align, do you know this because you are able to see this in FS already? If so do you just need to adjust them using AFCAD or is this a complete new one off image you are placing in FS?

Just want to be clear
