    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Flight1 AFX tool

Does anyone uses the Flight1 AFX tool for creating Afcads? If yes, does the WYSIWYG mode works? Unfortunately this won't be activated with FSX-SE. So I'm thinking about change to another FSX version.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi, I have Flight1 AFX installed since my FS9 days but I have to admit that the only feature I have used in FSX has been the Flatten Polygons tool to create new AFCADS to resolve elevation issues in a number of airports. With this tool it is necessary to reload FSX to see the effect.

I did make some modifications to FS9 airports many years ago using AFX and, using the FS Preview function with FS9 running, I was able to see the changes as I made them 'live', if I remember correctly, so I assume the same would apply to FSX.

It is quite a powerful utility though and comes with a good manual and I can recommend it if you are keen to modify FSX airports.

Hope this helps,

Bill
 
Bill, thanks for your reply. I intensively use AFX with FS9 too. and I know their undoubtable advantages like the excluding rectangles. copy and past possibilites and so on. But wiithout the very useful WYSIWYG facitity, it would be nothing more than the simple Afcad tool.

per: https://www.flight1.com/products.asp?vid=flt1sf&pid=afxfsx indicates quite clearly that AFX utility is only compatible with the boxed versions of FS2004 and FSX and not the likes of FSX Steam Edition / FSX:SE

cheers!
