• 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.

Tested using APX21250 in 0203

Airport MMMX

1. Tower element in the tree view has 2 tower objects shown. The second one is stored in the XML output.

2. TaxiwaySign. One taxiwaysign (3rd from end of sign list) has label "E/" missing format charater. Assume it should be d.

Hmmm - I can confirm that is what is being decoded. SDE assumes only one tower object per tower so only one is transferred to the xml output.

Is it possible to have two tower objects?

Confirmed. Seems I am still having problems decoding some taxisign labels
 
Based on the schema we can have only one tower object, however it seems possible to compile two into the airport record after the tower entry.

Could you comment on whether two tower objects are allowed. As you mentioned elsewhere everything in the default is done through BGLComp so it would help to understand how to write the XML to match this (assuming the pair of tower objects at MMMX is correct :) )
 
I think we ran into this early on with EHAM which has 2 Tower objects also. One was the Polderban Tower and the other the Main Tower.

I can't remeber the out come but someome was trying to change the default view back to the Main Tower (FSX has them backwards).

The fix so SDE would work was to move one Tower above the Airport records and make it a Scenery Object leaving the main Tower nested in the airport records.
 
Thank Jim

I recall that conversation. I am wondering, though, how it is possible to get two tower objects in an airport record.
