• 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 crashes with new MSFSF2020 update

I'm running the fully updated MSFS.
and the latest ADE.
and SDK 13
After the update I got this message when trying to compile an airport...

So someone gave advice to take the spaces out of the path name to the sdk..(C:\MSFS SDK). I uninstalled SDK 13 and reinstalled it using this path name, (C:\MSFS_SDK). I also changed the path name to my ADE V20 by taking out the spaces, I tried to do another compile and then got this message... and it did compile my airport and the airport worked in MSFS.

I would be interested in hearing from folks who have not experienced this issue

I did a build project with a couple of previously completed projects using alpha 18 and alpha 19 and did not have the problems described. I did get an error at the end saying validation failed due to a missing Business.json folder which did not previously happen. I have not downloaded the SDK update.

Check this out https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/t...ing-patch-1-16-2-0-solved.452642/#post-883064 The same error is appearing for users of the package tool

Perhaps you can test this workaround?

Yay!
That was it.
Un-f****ng-believable!
They forgot to put those nice old quotation marks around the path names when they assemble the command lines!

Just replace all the blanks in the path names (don't forget the subdirectories), and you're back in business.

Thanks, Jon, for that hint!!
 
With the latest update, when ADE starts the build the Sim starts and I get a package built small screen. I close the Sim and start the build and it does so.
 
Jon, This is the error message i get when building the package in ADE after the latest update today. I am going to do the copy and see if MSFS will start and if it present any problems.

Everyone gets this message and you can ignore it. It should be a warning or a suggestion rather than an error.
 
So its still not clear to me exactly what the fix is. I have tried to replicate this with both MS and Steam versions set in ADE and get no errors. What do I report to Asobo? Is this something that the user can fix?

Where are the spaces that create the problem?

Any spaces in the path names.
Without the quotation marks the spaces are regarded as separators.
 
OK - thanks - please check if my hot fix works
 
I have confirmed the issue with Asobo as far as I can - they are aware of it

I have the same issue. Tried the hot fix version and still has the problem.

Have you looked at the workaround in post #21 above?
 
Has anyone using the Steam Edition experienced this problem please?
 
scruffyduck said:
OK Try running the sim and then ADE. Load your project and call Build. Does the build now work since the sim is already running? Or do you get another error?

Also please tell me the SDK version you are using. I assume you are running the latest sim update

Also in the SDK folders find the fsPackageTool.exe
