douga66 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I assume you have the program AFCAD2 already installed on your system. When you open it up select the help menu and there you will find all the information you will ever need. Starting an airport from scratch is section 52 if you want to jump to it. Once you have read it and understand the material and you still have questions this is as good as anyplace to ask. Best of luck to you!

leuen Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Sorry, but creating an airport with Afcad 221 is like creating it in the dark. IMO, best tool is by far AD FX Airport Facilitator X of Flight1. It's a payware tool, but worse the price. It as interface with a WYSISWYG mode. That means, you see exactly where your runways, taxiways, parkings and so on are placed. Have a look here: http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=afxv1 While creating an airport in the nowhere, you certainly have to flatten the area.

Bernard AFX is a fine afcad creation program but if you really want a powerful program with numerous advantages over AFCAD2 and AFX check out: https://www.scruffyducksoftware.com/ Airport Design Editor is a free very feature rich program that does everything the aforementioned programs do and so much more. Like AFX you can create exclusion rectangles to delete default objects that are in the way. One of the nice features is that is saves first to a proprietary format so that you can build complex designs without effecting the active airport until you are ready to compile. I recommend you check it out! By the way the original afcad program creates flattens whenever you make a runway.
