• 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.

Hey all,
I've been working on this fictional airport and every time I try and compile it I get this error from the ground poly editior -

Any ideas on what it could be? I'm using the latest version of ade

Since the ADE display is mostly covered by the message, its difficult to tell. It may be that the GP is too complicated, perhaps a missing texture.

The message tells you which GPs are at fault. Call the GP Editor for one of those GPs and see what it says.

Incidentally, with this sort of issue, little can be diagnosed from a picture alone. It's usually worthwhile to include your AD4 file so that some testing can occur.

I'm not too sure how to call the GP Editor. Here's the AD4 file if you would be so kind as to take a look for me :)

I'm sorry about the late reply I have been swamped with last minute projects.

First of all, to call the GP Editor you double click on the poly/line or select it with the mouse, right-click and select "Edit" from the context menu.

It's not clear how you created those GPs, but I'm not surprised they won't compile. Examine one of them in the GP Editor (i.e. call the GP Editor). You'll notice in addition to the line outline there is a lonely vertex at the bottom left-hand corner of the texture. That's what is causing the difficulty. Unfortunately, there's no delete function in the GP editor. So, the only solution is to delete and re-create those lines in ADE.

To create the new lines, first draw the new GP line with ADE. The GP editor will open automatically. Specify the width, select the texture and, before doing anything else, select Parking Double Row in the Line/Pattern style combo box. Adjust the vertices as necessary and click OK, Since all 4 lines are identical, it's a simple copy and paste for the others

Ah I see where I was going wrong. I'll check it out when I have time in the next week or so and post back here. Thank you so much for your help and with ADE it's been the best customer service I've ever gotten :)

I'm sorry I took so long to respond to this I've just been swamped lately. Which GP is it? I can't seem to find it
