I'm using Afcad 221 to add tower views to my FS9. I'm having trouble with ZGGG which after adding a tower view to the tower there, & 'save as' which goes into my Addon scenery folder as an AF2_ZGGG.bgl file, I start FS9 but find the old tower view comes up & not my new one. The only other ZGGG file I can find is a stock one (where are they kept?!) so I assume my AF2 file should be used - but it's not. I've added quite a few tower views without problems. Can anyone help by suggesting what I might be doing wrong? I'm not saving a flight either.....
Thanks.

SORRY - IGNORE this post. It would help if I did it properly to start with. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa Embarrassed

Hi Gypsymoth,

If your last flight before creating the afcad file was from same airport and you use previous flight, you will end up with tower views and anything to do with that airport as it was before.

Create a new flight and I'd expect tower position to be correct, if not, recheck using afcad that your tower view is where you want it doesnt appear to be to be.

regards
Steve

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change

Hi,

I find the current airport's tower view to be reliable only if I load that airport from the Goto Airport menu item. This can then be saved in a Flight.

Hope this helps,
