• 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.

    MSFS20 Image file import

    Correct. No other problems with the image. When I close ADE and open the file again (any file), the background image is not there and it must be imported again. NOTE: I use the image as reference for altering placement on existing airports. It is not a part of the compiled file.

    MSFS20 Image file import

    I can place airport image files with coordinates (SBuilderX) with no issues. However, I have to import the image and enter coordinates again every time I open the file, as the image is not saved. Not a big deal, I know!

    MSFS20 *SOLVED* ADE freezes when compiling

    Thanks for you replies. Upon using the Task Manager as suggested, I think I have solved my issue. First, I installed the most recent version of SDK, which didn't fix my issue. I did some digging and saw there was a fix for the FSPackagetool, where the window was not popping up while the file was...

    MSFS20 *SOLVED* ADE freezes when compiling

    Hello. I have had this issue with ADE freezing after compiling a project, but I was always able to see my results in MSFS until today. ADE works perfectly until I Build Project, then the entire program freezes and must CTRL/ALT/DELETE to end the program. I have reinstalled the lastest release...

    MSFS20 RESOLVED - Read/Write folder attributes

    I figured it out. I didn't update my SDK. I was under the assumption that the SDK was automatically updated with every update of MSFS. Another lesson learned! :rolleyes:

    MSFS20 RESOLVED - Read/Write folder attributes

    No luck = my changes in ADE are not reflected in MSFS despite the error code. I believe the 'unknown Command AddVFSPath' has no bearing on anything, from what I've read here. I have also changed my Build Folder location and continue to get the same error. Note: I have also tried editing a much...

    MSFS20 RESOLVED - Read/Write folder attributes

    I save my project in the F20 folder (where is suggests), then copy the project to the Community folder. I have done this with previous versions of ADE without issue. The only changes to the stock airport were removing Aprons, a few parking spots, and eliminated faults such as orphan nodes, etc...

    MSFS20 RESOLVED - Read/Write folder attributes

    I try to research and exhaust all of my options before I post questions here, so bear with me. I am getting an 'Error: 1' when I try to build a project. I am wondering if this is due to not being able to turn 'Read Only' off for my folders in Windows 10? I initially couldn't even create a...

    MSFS20 Painted Lines

    EDGE_LINE_SOLID will eliminate the shoulder lines. I have not been able to change which side the shoulder lines are drawn on (heading doesn't work). Maybe the direction the lines are drawn has an effect.

    MSFS20 Painted Line Type Issues

    Having areas of "Enhanced Taxiway " lines for no reason that I can determine. They are all taxiways with all of the same attributes. Using Alpha 12 update. It looks like MSFS may automatically place them before hold short lines (kind of nice), but I am getting them away from hold short points...

    MSFS20 Aprons and painted lines

    OK. Got my aprons and painted lines back. I always made sure I transferred the build file to the Community folder. Today I went in and deleted my airport from the Community folder, built the file, transferred it again, and viola, everything was there. I have a couple of other small issues, but...

    MSFS20 Aprons and painted lines

    So glad to see ADE for MSFS 2020! Haven't had many issues editing an existing airport, but there are a couple of items that are giving me trouble. I haven't been able to see any textures in any of the aprons I've created, and I don't get any painted lines. I have the MS version of MSFS2020. I...

    Upcoming patch and custom scenery

    I saw this on the MSFS fourms and thought everyone altering their scenery should take a look. I am a complete beginner with SDK and haven't tried my hand at altering anything yet, so maybe I'll wait until after the update. "Also VERY IMPORTANT! If you use custom Liveries or Custom made...

    Apron help, suddenly cannot compile

    OK, got it working after updating my SDK and ADE versions. Thanks again! I really hate to bother you with these simple fixes. While I have you here, I have not had the option to automatically update my ADE versions for some time now. I guess I have been lucky with installing the newest versions...

    Apron help, suddenly cannot compile

    Good afternoon! Going about a typical day altering airports, and I suddenly get the error below. I have not changed my processes (same routine) and have never had this error before. If I draw the apron and don't modify it, I don't have any issues. If I click on the apron or change a texture...

    Making custom ground line verticies number

    I did what you suggested and now I don't have the full pop-up list of options in either version. It says (Pro) in the title bar on both, however. When I installed 178, I used the wizard, and thought it mentioned something about moving the key as well. I still have the Zip file with the Prokey I...

    Making custom ground line verticies number

    I always hate asking questions, because I'm sure it's already been covered somewhere. Just updated from ADE 175 to 178 and now I am unable to select the number of vertexes for an arc. A small box would appear and the default was 36. I was able to double that for smoother corners in 175, now I...

    FSX File saving

    That's what I figured I was doing wrong. For instance, my scenery folder should look something like this: Addon Scenery -->KPIA-->Scenery (2 bgl files, mdl file)-->Texture(converted dds files). Thanks again.

    FSX File saving

    Bear with me, as I am a little new to this. I am having an issue with black textures for a small hangar I am creating. I think I am confused about how/where to save my project. - Bmp textures created in Photoshop and placed on hangar in SketchUp. - Exported as dae file and imported to MCX -...

    FSX ADE suddenly stops compiling

    Figured out my registry problem, and now ADE recognizes FSX when loading. Also realized I didn't have all of the GP updates, and now that has been rectified as well. If you need to delete this thread, please do, as I do not want to mislead anyone. Thanks again for all of your patience and fast...
