• 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.

Compile Error

Hey

I wanted to check out the new ADE - GP tool today but i can't compile the complete Airport to FSX.

The Airport itself and the CVX is there but my Ground Polys are not there and while compiling i get following massage.

I attached the AD3 and ASM File. I hope you can help me with this problem.

ADE-GP is in beta test. You don't appear to be using the latest version of the ADE beta (1.60.4902). You must also download and install the latest version of the ADE_GP software, available from the top "sticky" above.

If, after installing the latest beta software the problem persists, please get back to us.

Kaiii3, You and Jon are going to have to sort this one out. Your file contains objects reportedly 6.4 * 10**14 radians in latitude distant from the airport reference point. That's a bit big for a ground poly. Things are a bit better in longitude, the maximum longitude differential is a mere 3* 10**7 radians.

It is a simple line, but somehow he has applied a polygon texture. If you change it to a line type texture it will work fine.

Doesn't the GP editor check for closed polygons?

Polygon textures on lines are not a problem.

The problem was that the line was created with an obsolete ADE beta and and obsolete ADE_GP. For whatever reason, that combination resulted in unrealistic positions stored by ADE and passed to the compiler.

When you assigned a line-type texture, you updated the entire record, including lat/lons, correcting the earlier issue. So, yes, it now compiles.

It does not appear to be a problem at all when the current versions of both apps are used.

Hi Don

sorry for bringing this old topic back up.

For my last projects i went back to ADE 1.55. But to use the new Ground Polys I use now ADE 1.60, but i get the same error once again. I tried then to compile a default Airport with just on GP-line and i get it again. You wrote something about Objects that are to far from the reference Point. What does that mean exactly?

I attached the ad3 file of the Default Airport with the one GP Line (No other changes to the Airport itself)

Kai, like before, it seems you were not using the latest release of ADE_GP.

ADE_GP is still in beta. (I'm still making improvements to it.) Jon is otherwise occupied with his house move, so were posting updates in this forum. Until Jon is "back with us", you've got to track this forum to remain aware of the latest release.

However, in this case, the latest release would have "crashed" when It attempted to compile your airport - not just output the error message. This is due to a misplaced "If" statement in yesterday's release.

I will be making another release later today. Please use it to compile your airport.

Hi Don

I'm using ADE 1.60.4932 and ADE-GP 0.0.94 and i tried 0.0.94(b) as well but it won't compile.

94(b) is yesterday's release and, as I told you, it will crash when attempting to compile your airport. I also reported in this post in another thread that the compiler was faulty.

I will be releasing 94(c) shortly.

hi Don

I tried today to compile the same ad3 file with ADE-Gp 0.94(d) but still the same compile error
 
Kai, I assume you are still referring to EDDV, which is the last file you sent me.

I can compile that file without error. Strangely, however, ADE does not issue the "Airport Compiled" message - which may lead you to believe the file is not being compiled. That message is issued by the base ADE, not ADE_GP. Perhaps Jon can tell us why that advisory message is not issued.

I can only speak for the ADE_GP portion, but I can confirm the gp objects were compiled properly (though I don't know what you plan to do with a 3000' wide line.)

If you have other reason to believe your file is not being compiled, perhaps you could describe or send a screenshot of any error message or other indication.

Don
 
Hi Don

yes I tried it with the EDDV file and i added the line just for the test, but it shouldn't be 3000' I set it to be 3ft :confused:

here is the massage i get when i try to compile the file. The airport itself gets compiled but without he GP

While the line does show as 3' in ADE, in the saved ADE_GP data it's 2998'. Perhaps it was corrupted by some past event. To correct that, simply edit the line and re-enter the correct width.

With those errors the GP .bgl file would not be produced.

What's doubly curious is that your compiler is complaining about "include files" whereas ADE_GP does not use include files. There's no code in ADE_GP that could generate such an .asm statement. So, as strange as it sounds, it would appear the contents of the ADE_GP-generated "ADE_GP.asm" file are being overwritten or some other file named "ADE_GP.asm" is being sent to the compiler.

Please check that BGLC_9.exe in your ADE beta folder is from the ADE download archive (It's creation date should match that of the other ADE files). If so, please compile your project and set aside the ADE_GP.asm file generated. Then, temporarily delete BGLC_9.exe and compile again. Send me both files.

Don
 
Hi Don

my BGLC_9 was created today at 21:06 (at this time I reinstalled ADE) the last date the file was modified is 03. April 2002 18:20 and the size is 704KB.

I atteched a .zip . The massages you can see in without BGLC_9/EDDV2.JPEG means that the system can not locate the the file.

Thanks, Kai. You accomplished a lot in that very short time.

At this point, I've only had an opportunity to look at the two .asm files. They are identical and do not include any "Include Files". So, something on your system must be "getting between" ADE_GP's call to the compiler and the compiler itself. Else, what is the source of the "Include file errors". I'm afraid you're going to have to investigate that yourself.

I also note that the .asm files do not include any vertex data but that ADE_GP issued a "cannot triangulate" message you didn't previously mention. I wonder if it's some issue related to using German Windows.

I'll investigate further later.
