• 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.

    Takeoff and landing forced to specific runway directions

    I'm reworking Calvi LFKC. This has one runway 18/36. The airport is at the coast and in the rear of the island we have high mountains. So planes in real world land on 18 towards the mountains and take off on 36 towards the sea. Now that seems to be a problem for P3D v5.3 ATC, which assigns me to...

    How does one go about editing a BGL file.

    Hello everyone. I have about 20 or so airports that I forgot I even own because they don't have the yellow star in the world map. After doing some digging I downloaded ADE to change the star value. ADE made a new package that I place in my community folder and it shows the star on the world map...

    ADE installations versions

    Hello, For a long time I've been using ADE v1.6x (I think it's either v1.60 or 1.61) it's been running great and all but if I want to install a second one the v1.78 completely separate from 1.6x, will both versions be working normally?

    I've been using the BGL File Format documentation to read scenery files, so I can build a list of airports and parkings. I'll use this data for a small app to test CsSimConnect, by creating an AI aircraft at user-provided parking locations. So far all is progressing nicely, and I appear to be...

Adding the effect to a building and then overwriting an existing building BGL or adding the building to an airport with ADE.
