• 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.

FSX Original airport not showing

I am new to ADE, just installed ADE9X v 1.55 early Nov. I want to re-do my local small airport (N13) to fix newly re-aligned runway, incorrect ramp and buildings, etc.
I was using ADE with FSX connected to see the effect of deleting the objects. This works fine. The objects I deleted were gone.
I save my project file, did not try to compile.
I exit ADE and restart FSX at N13. FSX shows the revised airport not the original airport.
I checked in \scenery & confirmed that the original bgl file is still unmodified. I do not understand where FSX is picking up the modified N13 without FSX being connected to ADE, or even running. I used a C172 for test with ADE, so I also tried another airplane at N13 in case something is saved with the last plane, but that is not it. Can sometime point me to the problem file? Thanks.
 
The ONLY way that ADE will be able to affect anything in FS is if you compile a BGL file. It does NOT affect anything in FS while both are running and you only make changes in the ADE airport. If you saw buildings disappear *in FS* then you did compile an ADE BGL file at some point. You might have compiled that BGL file anywhere in your FS installation. You will have to find it and remove it to get FS to display the original airport again.

Hope this helps,
 
Tom is correct. Only a Bgl file can change the airport. Also ADE does not change the default file in any way - that would be very bad practice. What happens is that a new Bgl file is created with the changes you make. This over rides the stock airport information without changing it. So if you did compile then try again and ADE should tell you which folder you compiled to.
 
Thanks, guys. After some searching I found the bgl in the addon scenery folder. Deleting that bgl brought back the original N13. I am not sure that I deliberately compiled, but I will go back over the instructions for displaying the airport I am working on in ADE in FSX.

If you used ctrl+C then you would trigger a compile. However you would see a dialog asking where to put the bgl file.
