ronzie Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Airport Design Editor is freeware except if you want a specific editing feature added. In FS there are two layers for airports. One is the design visual editor similar to AFCAD and the other is the facilities layer which includes approach path layouts. ADE does both. In addition ADE accommodates editing the more modern SDK rules. If you edit a more modern airport design (one created beyond the original SDK rules with AFCAD) it could it could corrupt the file or leave out important parts. ADE allows you to place scenery objects on the airport as long as they are in standard formats. As an example an navaid added with AFCAD would not show on the MS maps nor enhanced cockpit displays. ADE placed navaids properly show on the instrument maps. There are two steps to creating an afd type file with ADE. First you do the airport design editing which creates an ADE internal project file. You then run it through the ADE compiler step to create the bgl file. Projects with non fatal errors will compile and they will be shown in an error table. Fatal errors will be in the table but the .bgl file will not be created. ADE will open an airport from either project file (used for re-editing) or open from an existing .bgl file creating the project file in the process. In ADE you can save the airport as a project file or skip that and go directly to a bgl file which for editing changes involved means the recreation on the project file has to be reprocessed. Here is the ADE site which includes tutorial manuals and add-on utilities: http://www.scruffyduck.org/home/4584106797 For just the simple editing as in AFCAD you'll find the procedures very familiar.
