• 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.

I've spent hours trying to solve this one. Zero success. I'm handing it over to you. Have at it.
I've tried just about everything listed on the forums, but then again I haven't found anyone with the same error.

You cannot have an exclamation point (!) in your folder names?

When dealing with FS programs do not use any symbols except the underline (and no spaces in file names too).
 
I think Jon needs to weigh in on this one. I see in both my 1.67 and 1.70 versions that Jon is using the name !AdeTempWorkOnly as a folder name. I have never gotten this error but I don't normally save my xml, I compile directly into the game folder, and my project files are stored in a folder directly on the c:\ drive.

Sometimes I do it that way. But truth be told I usually only do that to take a quick look at something. Normally I set up a scenery area folder for that specific airport. It contains a scenery and texture subfolder. I compile into that scenery folder.

Alright, let me make sure I'm tracking here. So suppose you do some modifications to Anchorage Intl. (PANC), you create a folder just for PANC in your addon scenery folder, compile to that folder, then turn it on/off in-game in your scenery library?

Yes that is what I'm saying.

Tried man, just doesn't want to compile.

As for the <<<<<< Beats the hell out of me man. No idea how to delete those. Any suggestions?

I've been using ADE since it was in BETA. I love it, I've made some awesome mods to my favorite airports and even made my own private landing strip in Alaska, but recently I've been having a lot of problems with getting it to work.
 
When you compile click on More Options and check the "save XML" box.

Then see if you can compile and/or at least get the .XML file wherever you elect to save it.

BTW, I see nothing there that indicates a problem with the file name or path.

cheers,
Lane

Tried it bud. No dice.
 
Did you start with a default airport or another addon?

Did you run the Fault Finder?

Do you have a red box in the bottom left hand corner of the ADE display?

cheers,
Lane
 
! is perfectly OK in a folder name. ADE sets this folder up and if you try to rename it then all sorts of odd things might happen. This is only used by ADE and has nothing to do with FS.

<<<< is not part of the xml code generated for the compiler. It is a marker to show which line appears to be causing the compile to fail. It is generated in the compiler output display only

Code:
000002 <!-- Created by Scenery Design Engine (SDE) on 10/31/2016 --> <<<<

If you look at the start of an XML file generated for the compiler then it looks like this

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- Created by Scenery Design Engine (SDE) on 01/11/2016 -->
<FSData
   version="9.0"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">

The <<<< will not be in the XML file. So the question arises whether you have the proper version of MSXML and what version of ADE you are using and what version of the SDK you are using

I started with a version of PANC that i created awhile ago. I was trying to restore it to the stock airport. ADE version: I tried both 165 and 170. MSXML is the latest version. I think I downloaded it last night from the Microsoft website. SDK is SP1a.
