• 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.

FS2004 Cannot open stock airports in ADE

Hi there, just got new W10 PC and loaded FS2004 on it. Works great and obviously my next step was to get ADE. It loaded OK, I can Open airports from bgl and from my previously created airport files BUT cannot open the stock airport? Probably some triviality.
I can select it from the list, it shows with correct path but the airport does not open? The ADE gets stuck and I must terminate the program with task manager to get it off the screen!
Can you please let me know what am I doing wrong?
MANY THANKS
 
Hi Lane,
Many thanks, The ADE I have downloaded is v 1.70.6042.
I will go get cup of coffee and see what happens, but surely the database building is probably what holds the opening.
Thanks again,
Peter
 
Hi Guys, many thanks again. As Lane suggested went for cup of coffee and airport opened. I guess I just did not have enough patience. Now all works flawlessly. Great tool.
MANY thanks!!!!
 
I am pleased it worked. When you load a new stock airport where the detailed footprints are not available then ADE will load them for the entire area covered by the bgl file containing the airport. So you may find some airports loading slowly but over time it will sort itself out. Loading footprints is a time intensive job since they have to be created from the model files embedded in bgl files.
