Can you change the texture of the taxiway in AFCAD, much like in FSSC?

Highlight the taxiway links you want to change (left click the first one, then hold the shift key down and left click any other segments you want to highlight).  Once they're highlighted, place the pointer on any of them and right click once.  You'll get a pop-up for the taxiway segments you've selected.  One of the boxes in the pop-up (third from the top) is for "Surface."  You can select another texture from the drop-down list.

Hmm... When I rightclick on the taxiway I only get "Jump here" and "Properties"


Also related to AFCAD.... when I make a parking space, then try to load up the scenery Flight Sim will get to 1% and quit. I've determined the problem is in act the parking space(s). Any ideas?

1.  Correct -- click properties; that's where you get the pop-up with the boxes that define the taxiway.

2.  Are you minimizing AFCAD when trying to open FS9?  If so, you may have an FSUIPC problem.  As long as AFCAD is open at the same time FS9 is trying to load, an FSUIPC connection will attempt to be made.  If the FSUIPC.dll is corrupted or out-of-date, it will hang programs attempting to use it.

Normally, however, FS9 will report an error in this matter and continue to load.  I haven't had it actually "stop" loading, but I suppose that would be a possibility.  Try saving the AFCAD after making the parking spot and then exiting AFCAD completely.  If it still does it, we might want to take this problem to the AVSim or AI-Aardvark AFCAD forums.

Howdy

In a complement to this question about AFCAD textures i ask if i can ad new textures to AFCAD, that are not the standards used in FS. I had do some one hiperrealistic textures, but i have changed the standards of FS9 and the implicatios was... all of the airports and airfieldes in FS9 was changed textures.... Ok..i'm glad to do that but, if i wanna do to that at one specific airport, how i must do that??...can someone help me??      ... another thing... (message for Lee) can in the future versions, AFCAD use foto-background to help design very realistic airports? ... at this moment i use SceneGeneX to do the correct dimentios at runways, taxiways and aporns, but some features are missing   , like platforms (plans that are not aprons) and roads (that are not taxiways).After create all of this in SeneGenex... i use AFCAD to do corrections to the airport and do the final touch.
I know by the news that the new AFCAD  i'll do Flattens and excludes, yes...they are great news, and if you, Lee, consider one of my asks in a next of the next version, i'll apreciate a lot.    

Cumps for all
