• 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 RE-install as Error Fix?

Hi, readers. I've worked ADE (for FSX Acceleration) very hard in recent times - especially on one simple grass airfield but with vast surrounding terrain / landclass, village etc. It's not clever stuff: - just heaps of standard polys, stock models etc., though carefully enough designed. But now I am suffering a couple of odd errors. First, the Project / Find function has stopped working; my extensive list of project versions, kept in several different Win 10 folders, is unavailable; the relevant page freezes, displaying nothing usable. Second: when editing inter-locking terrain-shaping triangular polys, for instance, edited vertices jump and / or the poly moves short screen distances. Neither might sound too serious, but in practice they waste lots of time and effort. The new difficulties seem unrelated to the complexity of the project, and have not been explained or resolved by any checks. The PC - a Win 10 / 64 i7 machine with 16 GB RAM, SSD main drive, etc. seems otherwise to be working normally.

Is a re-install recommended? I'd happily do that, except that I assume I'll subsequently have to hunt down all my existing project files, linked satpic images etc. and acquaint the new installation with them. Or is there, perhaps, some other way? I'm not a highly skilled modeller / developer, but probably know enough PC tech generally to try anything not requiring code rewrites, e.g. Not that I have any inclination to monkey about with Jon's marvellous software. But I take it that there has been some corruption; I tried replacing the ADE .exe file with another, presumably identical file from a working installation on an older PC. Both are version 1.70.6042 / 7928. Changing the .EXE file made no difference; ADE still worked, but with the same errors.

I have searched here and elsewhere but haven't found anything to help, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks to Jon and all who contribute. Kind regards from:

Ian / Ismacca, Oz.
