Hi King,

I trust you're already familiar with Lee Swordy's afcad221.zip

This is from the Readme file:

Changes For This Release 2.21

Navaids
AFCAD can now create, move, and modify navaids. This includes ILS (LOC / GS / DME), VOR / DME, marker beacons (OM / MM / IM / BC), and NDBs. These changes will appear in the Flight Simulator Map View and GPS windows and your aircraft instruments will recognise the changes. There are, however, certain limitations with regard to navaid changes, as follows:...

This of course is for fs9 and from memory you're an FSX man. In any case the program might be useful - I hope so anyway 😎

Hi Ya Tailhook! Well, things have changed at the Home Hangar! I have shelved FSX fo a while, and ingrossed in FS9. I have learned so much and accomplished more with FS9. I'm looking at delving back into FSX in the near future. But, boy, is it going to be hard leaving FS9! Thanks for the help....I'll get back to ya'll as soon as I "master" this ILS/DME thing!

I had a hunch you might have come over to where the 'Cool Cats' hang out (fs9) 😎

A warm welcome 🍻

I didit! I did it! I did it! ILS/DME Mastered! Thanks Tailhook. JUst to keep ya'll updated: Since going to FS9, I have learned to repaint, create panels and now I have built an airport in Arizona. I have some more to go with scenery but the airport is strickly for Special Operations Troops and missions. It it 14000 feet X 300 feet to handle 747's and C141/C5 Galaxy's. In my toolbox, I have: FS Panel Studio, AFCAD 2.21, Rwy12 Object Placer and EditVoice. I need advice on removing FS9 scenery like bushes and trees and such. My pilots and crews are complaining about the trees and a house on the runway! Any input or advice is GREATLY appreciated.

Black OPS FLT 43: Tower, there is a house on the runway!

ATC: Roger, 43, be advised; utilize STOL on runway 12, climb and maintain 3,000 on heading 275.

Black OPS FLT 43: STOL?? Tower, you do realize FLT 43 is a C5 Galaxy?

ATC: Roger FLT 43, The people in the house OWN the runway!

I really don't know whether you'll be able to find a solution at Scruffy Duck's or whether you've already been there: http://www.scruffyduckscenery.co.uk/ - a specialised site, worthwhile having a good look at. Check out the tutorials and forums while you're there 😀
