• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 Editing AFCAD changes airfield elevation

Hi everyone. When editing the 9Dragons Kai Tak AFCAD (just to change its ICAO code back to VHHH, and leave Chek Lap Kok construction site as VHHX), I find airfield elevation changes from 0 ft (in the original AFCAD) to 19 ft.

I tried applying the method described in this link: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/moving-default-airport.434301/#post-713137. This method was successful when I tried it on Córdoba airport (SACO). However, this time did not work with Kai Tak.

Any idea how to edit an AFCAD and keeping the same elevation it had?

Before you ask, I want to swap ICAO codes because it would be faster than editing all my AI traffic BGLs (should be around 100 with flights to Hong Kong), and not having to do so after updating any AI flightplans...
 
Found it: somehow, if I specify 0.0 as altitude, I'm giving FS9 full clearance to set whatever elevation it may like. If I set some very small value (0.01 ft), I'm forcing the altitude I want.

After editing this file, and another AFCAD with the IGS approach, I have now Kai Tak at all its glory (and some B77W and A380).
