• 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.

FS2004 Why so limit parking gates for airline codes timed out?

I tried to add another new airline by entering the ICAO airline code at KMIA, but there are too many airlines. A red warning message popped up saying It can't add more unless I select a blank code. I clicked on a blank airline, but I don’t understand why there’s a limit of 192 airlines. Why can’t it go over that? Is the limit set by ADE, or is it a limitation of the FS2004 AI engine? What’s the reason?

Thanks,

Stuart
 
I can't find any reference to a limit on airline codes in the FS9 SDK or TTools documentation ... that doesn't mean it doesn't exist ;)
I'd be inclined to generate a temporary replacement airport file, using a different editor, AFCAD2 would probably be adequate for these purposes, and see if the problem replicates and/or if the changes work.
 
The limit on airline codes is probably caused by Microsofts bglcomp.exe compiler. There are limits built into it that are not documented in the FS2004 SDK. ADE passes the airport code to bglcomp.exe for compilation. AFCAD2 has it's own compiler that has no limits as far as I know. You may indeed be able to get around this limit by using it.

I dont think there are 192 airlines servicing MIA. Maybe 70 and thats too much already.
 
I believe there is a text file for the airline list. Find that in the main ADE folder, make a backup copy, and delete some airlines you don’t need. Then use that file to add your extra airlines. Once you are finished with Miami, replace the file from your back up if you want.
