AFCAD problem

There I was last night flying a short hop in the Merc Air Boeing Stratoliner from Cincinnati (KLUK) to Cleveland (KCLE) in my FS 1954 install. When I get to Cleveland I notice that it's a little odd looking. Two runways with no ramp or taxiways. Just buildings and green grass. I make my landing and then notice there's no gates either.

So I open it up with AFCAD and it's been all modded out of whack and doesn't fit the basic airport layout at all. Then it hits me that I shouldn't have a modded KCLE to begin with in FS 1954. The only place it's been modded is in my Golden Wings install where it's laid out completely different. So I look in my Addon Scenery/Scenery folders and sure enough, FS 1954 doesn't have an AFCAD for Cleveland but Golden Wings does.

The only thing I can figure is that FS read the AFCAD from Golden Wings while running FS 1954. I did manage to get a stock KCLE pulled up in AFCAD and made a few minor mods just to get an AFCAD for it that got it to overide the one from Golden Wings.

Darn FS does wierd stuff at times....
 
Noticed something similar a while ago when tweaking some AFCADs, which involves restarting the sim several times.
You know how much faster FS loads on a restart, due to caching of prior info?
It sometimes does this with the last "session that was OK" and forgets to update new stuff, somehow.
Can be a little frustrating at times...
