No, you can't add buildings and hangars with AFCAD. AFCAD creates the ground layout of an airport. You could use aprons to create a parking lot, but for the buildings you need a scenery creator. You can download Runway 12 from SimV for free...this would do the trick. It can be found here. Have fun Wink

" . . . or something else."
Affirmative:
FSX, use Scenery Shortcut (free)
FS9, use EZ-Scenery (payware)
Runway12 (RWY12) also works with FS9 and is FREE but not as user-friendly as EZ-S (one gets what one pays for)

What's scenery shortcut? Is this the version of EZ-Scenery for FSX? And if so, do you need the FS9 version to run it or is it completely free? Thanks!

Kevin,

Scenery Shortcut is not an object placer itself.
(35Mb download but the Scenery Shortcut.exe is only 28k, the remainder is video tuts)

It is a small utility that will convert objects placed using the FSX Deluxe-SDK-Mission Builder-Object Placement Tool into permanent scenery. Therefore it requires you have FSX-Deluxe.

The Object Placement Tool is ~~nearly~~ identical to EZ-Scenery in both appearance and function. Though it is (currently) limited to using objects from the FSX scenery libraires, there are approx 3500 objects available including 'custom' scenery objects.

So right now if I'm thinking of buying EZ-Scenery but getting FSX soon then I should just wait? BTW thanks for the info Wink
