[FSX] ADE File

[Cessna150]

Hey everyone I am new to ADE and am trying to find the file i need for the ADE install path. It didn't find it itself so I manually set i to the File= C:/MSFS/FS Design Tools/Airport Design Editor 9x. Whenever I do this it changes the file automatically to C:/MSFS/FS Design Tools/Ai. I don't know what to do. Can Someone Help me

[scruffyduck]

Sorry - we need a bit more information. I see from the Tag that you appear to be installing version 1.47. This is now superceded by version 1.50. You should install this one. You can always get the latest versions here:

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/ann....php?f=95&a=38

I do not understand what you mean by file needed for install path and where you are trying to set it.

[Cessna150]

I am sorry but I accidentally put the wrong Tag in. It should be version 1.50. Under ADE check it needs an install path for Ade. I put the file C:/MSFS/FS Design Tools/Airport Design Editor 9x in and Ade check changed it to C:/MSFS/FS Design Tools/Ai. It still says Not Ok to run Ade Fsx. I hope that gives you more information.

[scruffyduck]

Hmmm

Let me understand what you are doing?

• You have the latest installer for ADE 1.50 - this is an installer not a manual installation
• You ran that installer and accepted the default location for ADE - usually C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\Airport Design Editor 9x
• ADE installed in that folder
• Now you mention the Checker. So I guess you ran the ADE Environment Checker?
• When I run mine it tells me that ADE is installed in C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\Airport Design Editor 9x
• Now it seems that you may be doing the same thing but trying to change this path in the Environment Checker - is that true? If so you can't - that option is in case ADE can't find the path via the registry
• You say that the Checker is reporting C:/MSFS/FS Design Tools/Ai?

Am I right or do I not understand the problem yet?

If you have not yet installed ADE then please do that before running the checker.

In any case run the checker and click File > Make Report. This will open Notepad with some information. Copy that information and paste it into a post here so that we can see what the checker thinks is going on.

[Cessna150]

I will post the report later. But my problem is that in the ADE Environment Checker It gives no default location. When I saw this I manually set it to C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\Airport Design Editor 9x. When I looked at my ADE Environment Checker it changed the file to C:/MSFS/FS Design Tools/Ai. I will post the report later.

[scruffyduck]

Have you installed ADE from the installer?

[Cessna150]

I used the installer and downloaded ADE off the ADE website

[scruffyduck]

OK so then I do need to see the report from the Environment Checker.

Have you tried running ADE yet?

[Cessna150]

Yes I have Run Ade and have done three airports. I just can't connect to fsx. I will get you the report later

[Cessna150]

Sorry it took so long.

ADE won't connect to FSX unless you install FSUIPC. Look at Section 2.1 of the ADE manual.

[scruffyduck]

George is correct. You must install FSUIPC. Also the path to ADE appears to be manaully set to C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\Ai as you originally reported. This would have changed the registry entry I think. If you cannot get it to return to the correct default location then I would recommend uninstalling ADE and then installing it again and letting the default folder be used.

[Cessna150]

I have uninstalled and reinstalled. There was no default Entry like there should have been. That was my biggest problem.

[Cessna150]

I Installed FSUIPC and it still didn't work.

[scruffyduck]

Version 4?

[Cessna150]

Yes I Do Have version 4

[Golf-HotelDelta]

You don't seem to have the Acceleration SDK installed.

BGLComp should be version 10.0.61637.0 (FSX-Xpack.20070926-1421)

[scruffyduck]

Can you see the FSUIPC entry in the FSX Menus?

[Cessna150]

Yes I can. And do I have to download the FSX(A) SDK to?

[Golf-HotelDelta]

The Acceleration SDK is in a folder on the Acceleration DVD.

What happens if ...

1. you run FSX and position at an airport,

2. run ADE, open the stock airport that you are positioned at in FSX and click on the "Connect" button?

Does the indicator between "Connect" and "Disconnect" turn green?
