If you ladies and gents have read my previous posts, https://www.deltava.org/thread.do?id=0x1fad5, you should be aware there are some airports that does not in the flight sim.
Due to the easiness of the school schedule for the summer semester, I decided to start making it so we all can fly into these airport with peace at mind and be happy that Chuong and I still gets the daily dose of rice that does not get run over by us pilots smile

This is not the most beautifully made airport by far (I am still learning the stuff in the AFCAD editor (I use AFX) so it may be a while till I can make anything decent).



As of right now I am not planning to release it to avsim or anywhere else due to reason above, so if you guys want it, please send me email to: Soonho_Lee@deltava.org, I will send you the files.

I am open to any criticism on this airport. I think I did a good job of making this airport in 6 hours, but I know I still got a long way until I can make it perfect...

Installing this AFCAD is easy. There will be two files
1. AFX_ZLIC.bgl
2. AFX_ZLIC_ALT.bgl

#1 goes into (Main FSX directory) -> Addon Scenery -> Scenery
#2 goes into (Main FSX directory) -> Scenery -> World -> Scenery

Note
1. Airport elevation is set to 3800 feet because regardless of how many Exclusion boxes I created, part of the runway will sink under the terrain if I were to put the airport any lower, and last time I checked, even the Green Baron does not have capability of plowing through the ground YET...
2. ILS Freqes and names are not same as RW (I could not find any info on it)
3. Taxiways are not named (Don't know how to do that yet..)
4. AFCAD tested with DVA ACARS and the runway location is similar so there "Should" be no issue with landing distances
5. VOR/DME May not align like you would see in the chart. I did my best to have it placed like I see in Skyvector, but could not test the approach.
6. I am not responsible for any issue this file causes to your system or flight simulator download and use it at your own risk.
7. This is made for DVA/AFVA uses only at this time. Once I feel comfortable and are able to create more suitable AFCAD files, then I will open that up to mass public.

Soonho, have you tried Airport Design Editor? I use that now instead of AFCAD to tweak airports and facilities. I find more capable than AFCAD.

I have tried it, but for me, I was bit more used to using the AFX instead. That is why I stuck with it. Maybe I should try the Airport design editor and see what it can do

I like ADE a lot. That's what I'm using. If you have any more airports that need a bit of perking up, just send them to me. I'm not so good at creating one from scratch, but if you give me the runways and basic taxiways, I can do a ton.

Sweeet! Alright, I will get the basics ready and will send you the new airport just as I am done with the basic sketch! Thanks for volunteering Yisrael!

Will speak to Soonho about how it will be distributed when it is finished. Soonho and I already tested it on FSX, so I'm 100% sure it works, but thanks for offering.
