• 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_052 Error - Simple one I think!

Hi!

Got what I am hoping is a simple error with ADE version 052 (downloaded this morning from the ADE website.

The error I get is shown below:

Which would suggest to me that I am using the wrong version of SimConnect, or it is in the incorrect location, what directory is ADE looking for SimConnect in?

All the best,

Alex
 
I've just reinstalled the SDK, restarted, and am still getting the same error - just for clarification, so I guess It must be down to location?

Fixed!

I got the original SDK off the FSX disk and installed it on a different machine to a phoney FS directory.

Grabbed the .dll from there and put it in the main ADE folder... et voila!

Sorry for treble posting but hopefully this might serve useful for someone in the future.

Now off to play with this great software :D

Hi Alex

Glad it is sorted. For some reason access to simconnect via dotNET can be fussy. ADE uses the version of simConnect that comes with the deluxe SDK. There is a later one with SP1 but both should remain installed in WINDOWS\WinSxS. Also in one or two cases users have had to put a copy of Microsoft.FlightSimulator.Simconnect.dll into the ADE forlder for it to work.

I also need to find a secire way to get ADE to stay running if it can't find simconnect but that is also proving tricky. Easy enouhg to have the program shut down gracefully but that is not what I want to happen
