Greg,
Welcome to the forums. Unfortunetly the AFCADs are a compromise between the real world and FS2004 world. The initial afcad that gets installed when you unzip all the files is meant to be used with the default PHNL airport scenery courtesy of Microsoft. The modified AFCAD that is also included is meant to be used with Bill Mechlair's PHNL freeware scenery as well as DBWsim's Hickam AFB freeware scenery. Some of the buildings placed in the DBW scenery prevented me from placing the parking where I wanted to. So as with every AFCAD there's always a bit of compromise involved. It is very hard to make an AFCAD that will work with every user's setup since we never know who has what scenery installed etc.
As always feel free to modify the AFCAD to your own liking for your personal use.
I have tried downloading and installing the C-17 package several times using the 2.4 installer on FSX but it will not work.
This is what I get:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Looks like an installer issue. I would check with the folks at: http://www.world-of-ai.com/
Please bear in mind that the afcads may not work right in FSX. The packages are not designed for, nor are they tested, in FSX.

Seems that decompiling the plans really screws them up (or less likely but possible they're screwed to start with).
Wondered why only 1 out of all the C-17's was showing up so did some digging and found things like some really bad time errors day 6-0-6-0-1 for example. Currently going through manually fixing them. Also discovered TTools Companion really doesn't like any flightplan type other than WEEK. A shame as its fantastic for helping to spot mistakes.
Ah, that makes sense Stew cheers mate, will do that from now on. As for decompiling/compiling causing grief tell me about it. Perhaps in future packs you could include the txt files prior to compilation for those of us who do a manual install?
Great news. I expected something like that, because it was not looking buggy, just ... different. Now I am curious and must check what happens when the C-17 powers up for flight.
One problem I have is the C-17's are at the airport gates. If I could use 1HNL AFCAD, instead of PHNL, they would be on the proper side of the airport. Is there a way to install 1HNL in the flight plans ?
I made an AFCAD for PHNL, accurate for both military and commercial. PM me with an email address if you want it.
PS - It's for the default FS9 scenery
PPS - I also made flightplans for the resident KC-135 unit using a repaint from AVSIM. If you want it PM me also but I need to get the go-ahead to offer it since I didn't get permissions to re-offer it
