Is it possible to convert those text file looking FS2002 AFCADS for use in FS2004, and if so, how is it done?

I don't know of a way to convert them. Have you tried adding one to FS9 to see if it will work as is?

Not that I know of Sean.
Afcad 140 for FS2002 works differently than Afcad 221 for FS2004. FS2002 requires that 140 modifies the default <afd>.bgl files rather than producing a seperate .bgl file as allowed in FS2004. That's the reason 140 files are distributed as export/import .txt file rather than .bgl files like 221.
From the Afcad 221 help file......
Quote:
AFCAD 2 can't use export files produced by AFCAD 1, and there will likely be no method provided to convert them for use with AFCAD 2. This is because FS2002 facility data was more simplistic than FS2004 data and FS2002 did not control any visual elements. There is no practical way to automate merging the visual elements (markings, lights, surface textures, taxiway widths, runway extensions, taxiway signs, aprons, airport structures, etc) of FS2004 airport data with the simpler FS2002 facility data. The alternative would be a manual merging process, and that would likely require as much or more work from the user to ‘fix up’ all the resulting problems than to re-do the airport from scratch.
