• 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.

ADE GroundPoly Line issue

I have recently made some very long GroundPoly lines. If I click on the line, it opens in the editor and all is fine. If I move a single node or add a new one, the next click to edit it will only show the last segment, not the line anymore. In consequence, it can no longer be compiled or edited.

Is that a bug or a limitation?
 
Hi, Martin. This aspect of GPs hasn't changed in a long while. Can you provide an example and instructions, please.
 
Good morning Don.

Yes, I send you the file with instructions how to replicate the issue in a short while.

Many thanks
Martin
 
Checked both files you sent and can't duplicate. I'm using ADE v01.79.7475 together with ADE-GP 2.2.23.5.

If ADE is returning only a short portion of the line after editing, I suspect whatever is causing it is within ADE. Perhaps ADE is "tripping" over the 14000' object radius you have selected.

You'll have to flatten a VERY LARGE area for this to work, once you overcome the basic issue.
 
That’s a good idea, Don.

I am in fact working with the last 1.78 ADE Version (plus the latest GroundPoly), because I use P3Dv3 as a development platform - object placement without InstantScenery is too painful.

I report back after testing with 1.79.

Thanks!
 
Don, you were right. With ADE 1.79 the whole segment is loaded. That solves my problem. Many thanks!
 
Mabye the object distance from the ARP no longer needs to be monitored. How does it display in Flightsim? Is the full length still there?
 
This what happens in detail:

I create the long line in ADE 1.78. This works well, it compiles without error and displays perfectly in the sim.

If I add another point to the line or move a point, the issue starts. Compilation does not work anymore, and starting the GP editor only shows the segment on which the editor was started.

I have made the change now with ADE 1.79, and everything works fine with that version.
