• 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.

FSXA ADE 175 - Cannot get Custom Line textures to appear

Since update to V1.76.6715 from ADE 170 I cannot create a custom line. When the GP Editor (V2.2.16) comes up, there is no indication of available 'Line Pattern/Style' or 'Main Texture' for that matter, they are grayed out. Checking the texture folders, all are there and all have the contents. It seems that the linkage between the GP Editor and the textures is broken but cannot find how to point the GP Editor to the proper folders. Of course, you can never get the 'OK' to become active because the line construction is not complete without a texture. Ground Polys work fine, it is only the custom lines that have an issue finding the textures.

For what it is worth, ADE 170 worked fine.
 
Hello...

I would 1st update your ADE_GP to the latest (v2.2.18) Hopefully, that will help.

http://stuff4fs.com/ - Then tabbing over to "User Applications" - Sliding down to "ADE Ground Polys (ADE_GP)" and click. Then from the left hand side clicking on the "Latest General Release" tab.

Thanks Doug but it didn't help. Copied the files as directed and v2.2.18 does show up, but in the same condition.

What do you see in Tools/GP Texture Editor when you use the drop down box? I suspect that the Texture_Def.txt file in the main ADE folder may be missing or corrupt.
 
Not much Tom. That is why I think there is a linkage issue. For info, I reloaded the ADE 175 thinking something got clobbered during initial install and I still get the same. Texture Definition works fine, but Line Style Definition states 'None' and there is no pull-down available, yet the textures are there for it, especially the desired 'taxiway_marks.bmp.

Edited: I just went into the directory for ADE175 and replaced the current Texture_Def.txt file with an older one that worked (aka - ADE170). They were in-fact quite different (still have both). But, to no avail.

Thank you Don. I guess I missed that step in the book and the memory bank (brain or what is left of it).
