• 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.

FS2004 Missing Taxiway Texture

I have been working on updating KRFD airport and have a problem with one section of a taxiway that will not display the texture. I started with the default FS2004 airport and all the changes I have made in ADE9 appear correctly except the one. I do have a flatten set at 742 feet (226.1616 m) which is the airport altitude. Doesn't seem to be a problem anywhere else on the airport. Cannot seem to get this section to display correctly.

Using Version:
Application 01.78.7298.19731
Engine 04.75.7298.19441

If you could post your ADE project file that would be helpful in determining what the problem is.

Try deleting that taxiway node that's on the edge of the apron
if it's still an issue nudge the node on the apron a tad to the left or right
 
I haven't finished with the apron layout yet, so didn't connect all the parking until I know for sure where everything goes. Attached the ADE file below. Will try with the deletion of the node at the apron edge and see what happens.

I deleted the taxiway and added a new taxiway with ADE creating the ending taxi point short of the apron. This drew the taxiway almost to the apron. Exactly as one would expect. I then connected the taxiway that I created to the apron path on the apron and everything was ok. Attached is the updated ADE project file.

Finally got it fixed. I had to delete this taxiway and the main taxiway it terminated one. Redrew both and no more disappearing texture. Not sure why, but it works now. Had a little bit of issue with the edge lines running on into the apron even though I had placed a node in the center and marked the desired sections as no edge lines. But minor problem. Will putz with that some more. Good for now

you can move that node in the center nearer to the apron, the trick is do not make the taxiway dead straight, move this node a fraction to the left or right
this will put the edge lines where you like
its a matter of playing around with the nodes to get the desired effect, Ed has already showed you how to do it
