Flightsim is on my D: drive and all that goes on there is Flightsim essential files.
d:\
D: Has the following main directories:
ACA2005V1, Afcad_221, AIFP, DXTBmp, FP Changer, FS2004(Main flightsim directory), FS2004SDK, FS9 Configurator,
Hide_AI, PAI Installer V25, ScanAFD, Scenery (This is where pretty much all scenery files reside except those that are specifically required to be in the FS2004 directory), World_of_AI.
The Scenery folder then has sub folders as follows:
Africa, Asia, Carribean, Europe, General, Middle East, North America, Oceania (Australia and pacific islands), South America, UK.
Each scenery that I download and decide to keep goes into the appropriate geographical folder unless it carries files that I decide need to go into the General folder.
The General folder currently contains the following sub-folders:
AFCAD, Carriers, Jetways and terminals for acof, Landclass, MAIW World Airbases Scenery, Mesh.
I am currently debating with myself about creating 2 new folders under 'General'. These would be Waypoints & excludes. Currently all waypoint files (AF2_UAE1.bgl for example) and exclude files reside in
d:\fs2004\Addon Scenery\scenery
With the advent of new AFD creation Programs the AFCAD folder has become quite messy. Afcad files tended to follow the same criteria for the Filename ie: AF2_ICAO_(Owners Initials) producing someting like this:
AF2_EGLL_PB.bgl
Now of course we have AFX & ADE Which are huge improvements on the original AFCAD, but that means now I have to search for that pesky duplicated file not only under AF2_****, But also under AFX_**** & ADE_****.
(MAIW afcad files get amended by shifting the MAIW to the end

I am now considering another change so that all AFCAD files of whatever vintage begin with the ICAO code with follow-on information as required, examples would be summat like this:
EGLL_AF2_FRF.bgl
EBBR_ADE9_DEFAULT_MAIW
PHNL_AFX_DEF_MAIW_MOD_PB.bgl
This of course is a non-standard set-up and requires a certain amount of fiddling to make it work but so far so good. Comments welcome
