• 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.

P3D v3 ADE1.75.6421 (Pro) - GP objects not aligned

Hi,

I hope you'll be able to help. I have a complex airport on which I use GP objects. I carefully place these objects using the 'copy coordinates' options. Until now I was using v1.65 without a glitch but suddenly I started getting crashes in P3D. So I decided to move to 1.75. Although this fixes the CTD, it creates another issue, all my GP objects appear misaligned like in the pictures below:

Anyone else experience this? Thanks,

Fred,
 
Unfortunately, P3Dv3 onwards does not support some of the legacy technologies utilized in earlier versions. So, when compiling for P3Dv3/4 a very different approach is used which results in slightly lower placement accuracy. It's about the best we can do. Please appreciate the discrepancy represents only a few inches/cm on the earth's surface.

Some of this can be fixed by combining several lines into one. In other cases, you may have to make adjustments to end positions by trial and error. I appreciate this means a lot of work Frederic, but I know of no other way. Thank LM.

BTW, you've done a terrific job on that airport.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the appreciation. Sad to read that what was perfectly working before does not anymore.

However, I was always able to compile using v1.65 until now. Is there some kind of limit in the number of GP objects that I may have reached under v1.65 but not in v1.75? Thanks again.

Depending on which version of PV3 you are using, the old-style may still work. Try compiling for FSX and installing the GP file (only) in PV3 in place of the compiled-for-PV3- GP file.
