I have a problem with the afcad for Saba: I installed a new afcad at 133.8 ft above sea level. Though it always places me at 15 ft like with the default afcad. Does anyone know where the default afcads are stored so I can modify them?

if you use. AFCAD the program you can search for afcad files for certain airports, when you search for Saba or the ICAO ICAO for that airport, it should give you 2 afcads the one you modified and the orginal. (usually say def for defualt or mod for modified next to them)

I know, but I can't overwrite the original.

Can you rename the original and give the modified one the original title?

That would work, I guess. I'm not sure if Afcad gives the filename, though.

Don't do that.  Each FS9 default AFCAD file contains multiple airports.  If you rename or delete the default file, you are affecting more than just the airport you want to modify.  The best way is to create an XML file using the bglcomp routines for Delete Airport, then compiling that to a .bgl file using bglcomp.  That way you only affect Saba, and your replacement Saba AFCAD will be the sole reference document for FS9 to use.

Are you sure you are using FEET in all areas?  Double-check everything to make sure there isn't a reference to METERS anywhere in the data.
