• 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.

What constitutes an open link... Its connected to runway link..or a taxiway link.. see pic.s. Orphan links...Talks about being close but not connected....Pulling hair out...lol

Your screenshots do not prove that the links are attached at that node. If you place your cursor on the node and all the links are highlighted, then yes they are connected.
 
here are the before shots and the fault finder error message.. I am sitting on top of the line and don't understand how I can get any closer..lol.. I have read this and just trying to figure this out.

FSX - ADE Fault Finder - Open Link?

Upon opening an airport bgl file, the ADE Fault Finder says that, "This node and link are very close but not connected. Traffic will not cross this space..." Now try to guess which node is placed incorrectly. OK... I know what you're thinking... the program highlights the error. However...

Thanks @art209

It amazes me that the ADE programming is so good that it can detect an opening between links that we cannot see and warn us. Again, I am telling you that you can verify the opening by placing your mouse cursor over the node. If all the links that seem to be joined by the node turn white, then there is no open link. If one or more of the links does not turn white, there is indeed an open link. Or, if you move the node and one or more of the seemingly attached links does not move with it, there is an open link.

Two paths could be placed so close together they appear to be connected, but they are intentionally not. This might show as an open link by fault finder and can be ignored.
 
Well thanks @art209....the cursor turned white on everything....so I finally deleted it and started over. I guess you call that a false flag operation :)
