• 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.

Apron help, suddenly cannot compile

Good afternoon!

Going about a typical day altering airports, and I suddenly get the error below. I have not changed my processes (same routine) and have never had this error before.

If I draw the apron and don't modify it, I don't have any issues. If I click on the apron or change a texture, I get the message below.
I have tried creating aprons in several airports, and all get the same error.

ADE P5 01.79.7415 Pro Vers 00.00.7448 SDK 4.4.16.27106

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Sorry if this has been tackled before. I try to find my own solutions before i post.
 
Thanks for the report. We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix.
 
Please confirm which sim and which SDK - it seems you are working on P3D v5 and using a P3D v4 SDK. If that is the case then please install and use the relevant v5 SDK Also please update the ADE version. You are using 1.79.7415 and the current version is 1.79.7439.
 
OK, got it working after updating my SDK and ADE versions. Thanks again! I really hate to bother you with these simple fixes. While I have you here, I have not had the option to automatically update my ADE versions for some time now. I guess I have been lucky with installing the newest versions with no issues. Is there a version that I would need to go back to in order to get the automatic update option again (ex: vers 1.79)? I get a popup asking me if I would like to update, but it doesn't do anything.
 
The old updater worked only for minor updates. We have stopped using it. The latest production version is 1.78 which you can download. However if you are using P3D v5 then you need version 1.79. there is an update tracker in1.79 but it may not be reliable. 1.79 is a beta. The best way to see if there is an update is by checking the forum.
