• 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.

1. Import of stock airport doesn't include country. If airport properties are changed, ADE will display an error message when closing that window about the country being missing.

2. Importing, adding and displaying models (gltf) has had no issues related to ADE. Only error was caused by a missing model .xml file.

3. Selecting from the long list of apron and runway textures has been an adventure. Sometimes it gives you what you expect in the sim and sometime it does not. When you do not get what you expect for one airport, you can copy an apron from another airport project that displayed properly and paste into the airport project that does not and it will display properly. However, there is a mottled look to the stock airport apron texture that can't be duplicated with added apron polygons, including stock airport aprons copied from another airport.

4. A polygon with exclude TIN true can be used to exclude trees and shrubs (not mentioned in notes).

5. Few ADE errors were encountered until taking on a larger airport project. During a lengthy session, errors begin popping up, some obviously false, during work on aprons, paths and parking and during save project and build project. Only cure is to save and restart ADE. The project build does not include recent changes sometimes until the project is saved and ADE is restarted and compiled again. Fortunately, no work has been lost due to errors due to ADE's save option when they occur.

Thanks Art - that is very helpful.

1. I am aware of item one but have not fixed it yet.

3. Aprons are my favorite nightmare at the moment :(

4. is a good one - thanks for that

5. These are actual CTD errors or Issue Manager Errors or something else?

All of the above. Sorry that I haven't analyzed them, but some of the reports were sent. I do remember that while editing some taxi path segments, a couple popped up errors when saving them and would not save the changes so I had to replace them. Others would save even though the error popped up and others would work fine without an error. At that time I was assigning designations. No CTD in this instance.
