• 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.

Taxi sign altitude problem with 1.79

I'm trying to add taxi sign to a runway without success. It seem to be related to an altitude problem.

Below, the XML code for the TaxiWay that I added and that is not showing in p3d V5. Please note that altitudeIsAgl is False and altitude is zero. I think it should be true with zero altitude or false with the real altitude.

<TaxiwaySign
lat="46.7205554791529"
lon="-71.5866325648428"
alt="0.0M"
altitudeIsAgl="FALSE"
pitch="0"
bank="0"
clampPitch="FALSE"
clampBank="FALSE"
heading="47.0950410513536"
label="m06-24"
size="SIZE3"
justification="RIGHT"/>

This was the XML code for the same default airport in P3d V5. Note taht altitudeIsAGL is False but the altitude is realistic at 95.7 m over sea level.

I made different testing to see if ADE behave differently with sloped ground polygon or with polygon with uniform height but no luck.

<TaxiwaySign
lat="46.7204079697095"
lon="-71.5865881179328"
alt="95.707M"
altitudeIsAgl="FALSE"
pitch="0"
bank="0"
clampPitch="FALSE"
clampBank="FALSE"
heading="228.619995117188"
label="m6-24"
size="SIZE3"
justification="RIGHT"/>
 
What version of ADE are you using? Is the airport set to be sloped?
 
Hi Jon, I was using 1.79.7415 and yes, the airport is with the flag sloped. The runway render perfectly with the sloped altitude given to the taxipath vertex. I saw that a new version is available. Does it includes additional fields for taxisign altitude ?
 
yes, open one in the editor dialog box. it's been in for several updates
 
Ah yes, my fault. I didn’t noticed the sloped button on the taxiway sign. All good now, I will publish my first sloped runway version on Avsim tomorrow.
