• 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.

Airport appears in "GoTo" list after delete bgl and cache.

Using ADE 1.79, I created a new FSX airport for use as a heliport. I deleted the bgl after the airport appeared in the GoTo list with corrupted characters in its name in addition to wanting to redo the location for the helipad. I then created another airport with the correct Lat/Long, double checked the spelling of the name, and saved/compiled the bgl.

When I select the airport, it still shows on the list with the original corrupted name, and lands you at the original incorrect location, even after deleting all shader cache and restarting FSX.

Any thoughts. Thanks
 
You probably have an old version of the BGL file hiding in one of your scenery folders. Do a search of your FS folder.

Another possibility is that you have FSX in a Program Files folder and Windows has created another copy of the file in a protected folder after you tried to delete it.
 
OK, found it.
Apparently ADE can place an ALT.BGL in the World/Scenery/World folder. Of all the airport/scenes I've created it only did this with the ones I created that have an airport without any scenery.
C:\Program Files (x86)\FSX\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Scenery\World\Scenery\5NJ4_ADEX_DV_ALT.bgl

Once I deleted that file, all was good with the world.
Phew
 
Glad you found it. Whenever you change the name or the altitude of a default airport in ADE, it creates that ALT BGL file. That’s necessary to override some of the default settings.
