Problem with BGL Compiling

[LeoDario]

Every time I try to compile an airport there is a set of errors. This is an airport which I created from scratch but I dont think that this will create a problem. I'll display the error message as an attachment.

Please help me solve this problem

I think this is for FSX. I assume you are using the compiler from the FSX SDK and not trying to use the FS9 Compiler that ships with ADE?

 

[LeoDario]

Yes, it is for FSX and I'm compiling it directly to the Addon Scenery " Scenery " folder

OK but that does not answer my question. I do not think you have used the correct compiler.

Have you installed the FSX SDK?

 

[LeoDario]

No I haven't installed SDK. But I can't find it in the FSX folder. Where exactly is it?

You must install the SDK to be able to compile for FSX. http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20021

For this you must have the deluxe or Gold edition of FSX. The standard edition does not come with the SDK.

Ok, I instaled SDK SP1A and tried to compile it but it still didnt work

I am sorry but that is not enough information to help you. What error message are you getting?

 

[LeoDario]

Before I try to compile it again, where Exactly do i need to compile it to?

Usually Addon Scenery\scenery

Here is the current error message.

Parse complete!

Well that is the approach GPS 09. It seems that the fix type is RUNWAY and that is not allowed. I am not sure how that was set. ADE does not offer RUNWAY when a new Approach is created however it will allow it to be changed to that in the property grid. That is a problem that needs to be fixed. In the meantime you need to open that approach in the editor and change the fix type to something valid.

Thank You for the help it worked.
