• 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.

Hi,

this afternoon I tried to open some custom AF2 files with ADE, but each time and bgl I try to open I got the topic header's message.

Does anybody know the issue or how to solve it?

The attached file is the AFCAD from Turbulent Designs KSUN sold by Orbx. I get "failed to decompile the bgl" when I try to open it in ADE 1.76.6715.14291. When I try to convert it to an xml file I get
Using ScruffyDuck Decompiler
Unknown ID -19968 found in airport record.
I am unable to go further. Please help.

Please update ADE. You should use the latest 1.79. I was able to open the bgl file without error using this version

Jon,
This solved all my problems including fixing elevation problems I had. Thank you.
Incidentally I checked regularly, within your program, and it always said my software was up to date. I just found there is also a revision check and it said the latest is v1.78.
I am not clear on how these checks work but I will always go to your web site from now on. Thanks again.

The checks don't work very well and only within major versions.
