• 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.

ADE 0.45 Bug Compiling (Waypoints)

Hello Jon,

i've compiled my work with SDETestApp to be able to open it with 0.42. When I save without changing anything with 0.42, everything's ok. No Compiling Errors or Warnings. Same thing if I Compile my XML with BGLComp, nothing.

But if I open the BGL with 0.45 and try to save it, Every Waypoints lose their WaypointIdent, WaypointType is all set to Unknown and get compiling errors

If I check the temp.xml with 0.42 , everything's fine.. But 0.45 do not produce the temp.xml, so probably something's wrong with the validation.

Hmmm Well I don't recall making any changes of code. Did you start with a stock airport or one that was already modified prior to 0.45? One of the things that should not be passed through at the moment is the waypoints from the default airport. ADE is not (like AFCAD) planned to give access to everything in an airport record at the moment. Aproaches are turned off and Waypoints should be also. Could you let me have the Bgl file so that I can take a look at it.

You correct that there is no temp file saved at the moment but if you open the Bgl file with SDE TestApp then you should be able to see the detail and also check the Xml.
 
Here's the temp.xml from 0.42 and the BGL compiled with BGLComp.

Thanks I will take a look. The debug version here does keep the xml file
 
I can see what is happening. This Bgl contains Approach and Waypoint data. For some reason the waypoint data is corrupt and is causing BglComp to throw exceptions.

ADE is no longer trying to read them in correctly and alhough there is nothing wrong with the XML it is not getting passed on to BglComp in any sensible way.

It is something that I need to sort out.

That attached Bgl is cleaned up and works fine in ADE. The approach data and waypoints are stripped out. Since you can't delete waypoints from a default file then that should not be a problem and ADE will not change or impact on the default approach data because of the risks associated with doing so.

Hmm for some reason the Attachments dialog is refusing to come up at the moment. I will try again in a bit.
