• 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.

More Approach Code Transposes

Received a report from John (Lupo) in ADE Forum that SDE was adding a legturn but I have not track this as a problem yet. The legturn appears to be related to another legtype anomaly that I found

When debugging that problem I found a small transpose issue with HEX.

I have check my findings with both AnaylzeX and BGLX190 and they are transposing correctly so I feel confident that SDE is the problem if you can confirm on your end.

<Approach
type="ILS"
runway="12"
designator="LEFT"
fixIdent="DR8 M" <<<<<======= should be "WASHY"


<Leg
type="CF"
fixType="TERMINAL_WAYPOINT"
fixRegion="K3"
fixIdent="DR8 M" <<<<<<======== "WASHY"


</ApproachLegs>

fixIdent="DY A8" <<<<<<<========== "should be WHISK"


On further debugging the problem gets more severe then I first thought

Here is just a sample of Waypoints that did not get transposed properly. All the approach code is corrupt. Now I need to go and see if this is applying to the entire World database or only certain APXnnnnnn.bgl's. I don't remember seeing problems with code I wrote for other airports but then I rewote from scratch and was not paying attention.


fixIdent="CQXYM" should be "VAGEY"

fixIdent="DREH " should be "WAYZA"

fixIdent="DQY5F" should be "WAGNR"

fixIdent="H96Y8" should be "ZUREK"

fixIdent="DYUY9" should be "WIDEL"


I finally just had to stop trying to fix and go over and get Winfried's data and use it.

I should have remembered this when I mentioned the leg turns. I ended up rewriting alot of code.:o

As I think Jim mentioned I am currently unable to fix the SDE code. I am away from home and do not have the latest source on my laptop. I will sort this out when I get home early January
 
I am working on this now and it is partially fixed
