OK - here goes a dummy question  I tried to add some parking places to KMIA and the resulting AFCAD cased a CTD while loading the airport. I am guessingthat this means that you cannot add parking spots without taxi-ways - although I cannot find a reference to that fact. Maybe it is something else entirely but this is the first time I have tried to add a new parking space in recent history and I cannot remember what happened last time |

Hi
Its been a while since I played with AFCAD but Im pretty sure you need all the parking spaces connected to nodes,There is a check function in afcad that will point you to where the problems are.Also open a default airport to see how the genral layout looks
cheers

Thanks Wozza - that did it - I created a node and attached the parking to it and the CTD went away - I can even park my aircraft there  |

Hi Scuffeyduck, AFCAD can really do a lot of stuff. It also works great when combined with Runway12 or LAGO FSE to add on all that detail stuff using macros. I found it very useful to print out the AFCAD Manual and put it in a 3 ring binder. It is available online of course, but for an old guy like me, the printed page allows me to look at what I am trying to do in the sim and read about it at the same time. The troubleshooting section covers a lot of items that are problems like you described. You can get airplanes to park in specific spots with a combination of radius, Identification and even numbering of the available slots. That helps a lot when your GA cub takes up a Southwest Airline slot  |

AFCAD has the best, clearest instructions of any of these designer programs that I've used. (Though EZ Landclass isn't bad.) Also the best interface and display; and in fact anybody who is planning to create a designer program ought to study AFCAD, because it is everything that such a software should be.
It does have that one little quirk, nagging you about the registry when you start it up; but I've grown to regard its solicitude as rather charming.

Heart shmart. It's more important to me that the person who designed it, and wrote the instructions, used his HEAD.
Same guy who made Traffic Tools, wasn't he? That gives me some hope that I'll one day be able to master TT as well.
