• 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.

MSFS20 Is ADE Truly Dead?

I am asking this question because I am not so good with the DEVMode. ADE made things so much simpler for a person like me.
Wishing Jon all the best in retirement. Will ADE be carried on by someone else?

ADE is retired and archived so won't be coming back. In the past there were several airport/scenery design tools. Perhaps someone may take on the task of creating something new?
 
Thanks Jon, Enjoy Your retirement. I certainly hope spo. ADE was truly a gift for me. I will miss it indeed.
 
Happy retirement Jon! ADE has worked for me for many years and will still serve my needs for many more years. Thank you for this gift!
 
Sorry Jon, I've deleted the installer and would like a backup should I need it. Is there no way to download it still? For P3D this is..

Thanks.
 
The version I've been using was 1.79, but whatever was newer. Perhaps host the last release download here?
 
Ah I didn't notice that this was an MSFS thread! For those of us working on P3D, 1.79 works very well indeed still, Jon. No, it won't interface with v6 but that's no great impediment. Anything made with the v5 SDK (5.2 works best) will work in v6 IME. I intend to keep using it as long as I can!
 
Thank you! I did try your website via the links in your signature, and they are down.
And I found if one simply changes the P3Dv5 locations to v6 is works completely fine!
 
I have converted several airports in P3Dv6. It works just fine. However, airport buildings seem to be fused into the scenery and cannot be moved or deleted as in P3Dv1-5. So you need to fly around the airport in the sim first to see where everything is before making parking spaces in ADE. Additionally, setting the scenery to Sparse or Very Dense does not seem to matter. It’s either there or it isn’t.
I hope this helps.
