Updating AFCAD

[_Dre_]

Dre , I did try it , and I play with it for hours trying different ways to set it up ! it works but it always leaves the old jetways and or the old terminal on it ! I tried it with the fsdreamteam AF9_PHNL.bgl changing it to the AF2_PHNL putting it in the addon scenery / scenery folder , Jim Vile approach files to the scenery / generic / scenery folder ! both PHNL_APP_3rd_jv.BGL and PHNL_APP_jv.BGL even played with the AF2_PHNL_APP_jv.bgl and even try it with removing the PHNL stock BGL AP905240 but still old jetways or old terminal ?  thanks   MIKE

One major error you made was changing the FSDT afcad (ADE) file. This file should not be touched in regards to the Jim Vile files. The approach file and the afcad are two separate entities (just like JFK).

So put back the FSDT ADE file the way it originally was. For the correct approaches you only need to add the single Jim Vile file for 3rd Party sceneries.

All you need is this: FSDT's PHNL installed normally. Then from the set of Jim's approach files; put only "PHNL_APP_3rd_jv" in this location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\Generic\scenery .

That's how I have mine setup as Jim's 'readme' instructed.

That's it Dre, couldn't remember the exact name of te file.

Now if we can only get rid of that blasted Man Utd banner you have, the world would be a perfect place

24 hours, 47 downloads, and not 1 thank you?

Cheers to all who couldn't be bothered. I know I won't be in future.

miketower21, I am having the same problem, I will look into it and reply back to you.

Ethan, this was an FS9 file only.

Ok all, this is as good as I'm going to make it for release.

Reminder, this will only be here for a limited time, as it is going to be a project for the AIG Ground team.
Don't ask for a release date for that version, as it is going to be totally re-built from the ground up, and I won't tell you anyway  

Get it while you can, it won't be here long.

Not to all, you need to get Jim Vile's Approach file to get best results from this, phnl_app_jv.zip at Avsim, http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=phnl_app_jv.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search.
Only install the 3rd party approach file as discussed by Dre, a few post's above this.

Also needed is the AIG Ground team Radius file, aig_aircraft_model_and_parking_radius.zip , also at Avsim, http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=aig_aircraft_model_and_parking_radius.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search
This ADE file is set according to the radius tables in this file.
Standard radius AI models may also work here, but will not follow the guidelines as described in our Radius table.

Hi Tom I tried your file but I'm getting alot of bleed through I add it some concrete aprons and on the reef 8R 26L runway ,I was showing water under the taxiway !!! it help alot but now im get the old terminal again BUT i think i know why i was using the old AFCAD.exe to fix everything but i think i got to download the new ADE-9X to fix it or just to have maybe too thats why my curved approach is not working

Thanks Tom! Will try it out in FSX later

[Ethan744N763]

Ok not sure how to install it. Where is the orginal FSDT PHNL AFCAD? In the FSDreamteam>PHNL>Scenery folder? Or in the Addon Scenery>Scenery folder? I found a file called DH_BR_PHNL.BGL in the Addon Scenery>Scenery folder and I thought that is the AFCAD for FSDT. So I made a backup, deleted it, put yours in and renamed it to DH_BR_PHNL.BGL. And I fired up FSX and I still have the same problems I had before so I do not think I did the right thing.

The only planes in this first picture should be Hawaiin Airlines, Mokulele, Island air and go! .

Again these airlines shoulden't be here. The other pictures explain the same thing.

Or do I have it installed correctly and this all has to do with that radius thing?

[Tom C]

Ethan, this is in the FS9 section and is only for the FS9 scenery.
I don't do FSX files.

I don't know.
I have many other files in production at the moment, so this is way down the list.

Not all of us had a chance to download...

[Tom C]

Not all of us had a chance to download...

And thanks to those who couldn't even bother to post a comment either way, good or bad, after downloading the file, you won't have that chance again.

I'll modify FSDT AFCAD'ADE files to suit myself, and leave them on my HD for my own use.

How hard is it to download something and post a thank you comment to someone who spent 30 + hours doing something that will help you.
I always do, but I guess some people simply don't care.

Hello Tom C,

thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,  and: thank you !

No, well, really fantastic work.

I checked it out yesterday evening (Germany). Looks really good, with curved approaches 'n everything. Had to deactivate the static C-17 file, now everything including the military parking just works super.

Good (hard) work !!!

I can't wait for your real official FSDT_PHNL_AFCAD that you will post later on (when?) at AIG.

Thank you very much again !


Cheers,

Manty

Tom, thank you so much for your efforts to improve the AFCAD file in order to implement the curved approach. Due to a very busy work schedule this week, I could not test it so far.   Keep on with the excellent job.
