Moving Along in NH

[Steve]

Well, I got AFCAD 2.21 installed and working (is there a newer one??) and got my first modern runways converted over to grass. I started on 5M3 (Moultonboro NH) instead of KLCI because it's a smaller "can of worms" to open while I am learning.

I also got past the dreaded "missing file" error on SBuilder and got that installed. I didn't really get much of a chance to play with it, but in the few minutes I had, couldn't figure out a thing about how to make it connect to the sim.

I was going to send along a couple of screen shots showing my progress, but I couldn't figure out how to attach a jpg. Oh well, at least I'm making progress ;D

Steve - pleased that you are getting started. You have the latest version of AFCAD - it has not been updated in quite a while.

To connect SBuilder to the Sim there is an option in the View Menu called show aircraft This will put a red cross into SBuilder at your a/c position. You need to have FSUIPC installed for the connection to work.

As far as sceenies there are no attachments directly in the forum. You need to set up an account at Photobucket. Tom has posted the details in the Site Announcements section

Thanks

I had to re-install everything last night - got part way thru and realized that I hadn't upgraded to 9.1 before I installed GW - no big deal and it went pretty quick.

I guess my next step is to flatten and exclude the existing stuff that I don't want. THEN I can start adding the new stuff

Yes that is a real FUN part - you can exclude the current airport polygon using Sbuilder by creating a polgygon of type exclude - you need to exclude layer 7 to get rid of the airport That'll still leave the buildings and the trees but you can get rid of them with an exclude using the exclude button in SBuilder
