Hi Commoner

first the firt
A good software to builds and entire airport and anything this one Flight Simulator Scenery Creator software like this creates the visual ,like taxyways ,runways ,houses, tower control everything you want ,by selecting in the Macros and roads you can Draw them very easy..

and I hope you are using FS9..BTW!, just a reminder is Afcad221 ,many people get confuses with the older afcad (for FS2002)..to create the airport traffic or existance ,Ils ,VOR, ATC, ground trafic, runways,etc,Not Phisicaly ,(just a few things)

I don't understand very well you question ,Do you mean you want Ground Trafic (aircrafts) in the parkings spaces you selected? If you select to Heavys aircraft and the airport is not design for 747 ,727 etc ,you won't see anything in those parking spaces Due that is a small airport , a rwy too short perhaps, you have to create for smaller aircraft parking spaces , as far I can see ,three of this spaces are for heavies aircraft    

EDIT: I been waching the airport and the afcad draw ,if you mean those rwy exits , or taxy ways thats seems not to be there ,you can make them using Flight Simulator Scenery Creator and besides add more leng on the runway or add hangars

Hi Al..thanks for your reply....I am using  the right version of AFCAD and am totally happy with the way it is going  I have AI traffic landing and taking off I have installed ILS and all the other stuff..buildings , lighting etc...the ONLY thing I want to do is some work where I have highlighted YELLOW here on the right side of the runway. RWY 12 will not display any buildings etc that I try to place there.....

MY ONLY question is WHY NOT?

  There is no obvious reason that I can see......

I realize there may be better software but am happy with this stuff for now..........commoner

Commoner, here are more questions than answers  

Does your exclude area encompass both the area where objects show and where they are missing?

Are all of your Rwy12 objects (visible and missing) placed with a single .bgl?

Have you tried temporarily removing the exclude statement from the scenery.cfg to see if the missing objects appear?

The FSTFlatten utility uses the freeware FSUIPC, and is already registered I believe.

To 'still puzzled though'                      

I'm still pretty sure it is  a 'priority' issue, confused by the 'exclude area' not extending far enough to include the reference points of the buildings that show.

* The exclude area: Even if the exclude area extends to include part of the building, if the reference point of the building (often the center of the building) is not within the exclude area the building will still show.

* You say you placed the 'exclude switch'  at the bottom of the 'scenery.cfg' file, therefore the last [Area.xxx] section in the file. Look at the 'Title='  for that section and then find that title's position in the FS>Settings>Scenery Library Area list. If it is higher in the list than the scenery area that you placed the Rwy12 .bgl(s) into (..\Addon Scenery\scenery\ for example) then the Rwy 12 objects will not show as they are excluded because the 'exclude switch' has a higher priorty.

The easiest fix might be to create a new 'scenery area' folder set. Create a new folder with a scenery sub folder for the .bgl's. example: ..\My New Scenery\scenery\. Place your .bgl files (Afcads and Rwy12 .bgl's) in the \scenery\ subfolder, and activate the new area in the Scenery Library. Leave it at the top of the list and the objects should show as they are higher priority than the exclude switch.  For organization purposes you should edit the Scenery.cfg to MOVE the flatten and exclude switches to the [Area.xxx] section for your new 'scenery area'.  Then, if you should ever reorganize your Scenery Library list, the flatten/exclude switches will stay with the scenery with no chance of becoming higher priority.

If you do switch to using exclude .bgl's the same principles of priority apply, you just don't have to mess with the Scenery.cfg file.  

Hint: If you create a new scenery area folder set for each new scenery project you start and place all files (Afcads, flattens, excludes and Rwy12 bgl's) in that folder, priority should never be an issue, and organization much easier. Also give your  files descriptive names, don't just opt for the default 'object.bgl' or 'exclude.bgl', etc. You'll find this very helpful later on as your scenery design endeavors expand.
