• 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.

Compilation error, probably because of Orphan ILS

Hello

I've been working with LFPG airport in ADE for a while. I have repositioned the runways and deleted the current ILS's and created new ILS approaches to these runways. I was at the time I compiled this unaware that I were going to face a problem about orphan ILS. Yes, I have read one thread about this, but what I mean is the difference now is that I doesent have any XML file to delete this duplicate ILS in any way.

Here's just one error. There are about 4 errors which are the same as this one, just for other runways:

I have fixed the dimensions of the orphaned runway, it would not compile at first, but i ticked the force skip compile button. I think problem is fixed now, thank you for support.

What you don't show is the actual compiler error but you mention that the errors aew duplicate VOR/ILS : GLE, DSU and GAU I see that you orphaned these and then recreated them somehow. It's not clear to me how this came about. However I am able to get past the compiler errors. Do you have a ProKey?
 
Hi Jon, I had a similar problem in FS9. I use 1.76.6715 (Pro) and I opened an Airport from Bgl.
To get rid of an stock ILS, I orphaned it. Now I got the "red rectangle" in the lower left corner.
After clicking it I could see the orphaned runway was exactly 1m width. I clicked "Fix" and rhe runway was 1.1m.
(My settings were "Dimensions Meter")
 
I think there can be several errors here but as I recall ADE sets the orphan runway to the acceptable minimum size for the compiler. However if the fix adds a bit then my memory is playing tricks on me again :)

Click to expand...
That explains it. It doesn't compile so you don't see errors :duck:
 
forcing skip compile is a bad idea, you are telling ADE not to compile it.
 
I ran another test with Settings: Dimension= Feet and all went fine (runway had 4ft length and width).
So your memory wasnt playing tricks :)
