AFCAD Program?

Post by ReggieC »

Is there a program in the SDK to make AFCADs for airports?

Hi ReggieC
There is a program for the vegetation which is in
...\SDK\World\Autogeneration\Annotator.exe
But, there is no program to make AFCAD for airports.
You can use ADE that you can find here:
https://www.scruffyducksoftware.com/
But it is not compatible (?) with v6.
If LM add a similar program, it will be a real improvment.

ADE can build airports up to and including P3D v. 5, and then, as far as I know at this time, all v. 5 airports are compatible with v. 6.

But I will repeat - as far as I know at this time - due to upcoming hardware remodelings I haven't been able to try this myself yet.

Confirm. For normal airport design (not talking about sloped runways here) ADE does a perfectly fine job.

ADE makes sloped runways excellently?
