• 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.

In ADE, select "List/Taxi signs" then scroll down to:

||[C]m18

Click on "Edit" and delete the first "|"

thanks! also one more thing. The airport I am making this AFCAD for has parking T's in some parking areas. So right click and click Add/Library Object/Category/Stock/ And click ga parking T white new. When I add it, I compile the airport into a bgl, put it in fsx, and go to the place it is suppost to be in, but it is not there? How can I make it appear in FSX?

-thank you

I don't have the same library objects you do. However, in ADE if the parking space lines up perfectly with the parking link, the T will not show. If you select the parking spot, grab the handle and rotate it just a smidge, the T should appear in FS.

If they are visible on the ADE screen, delete them. If not, create a taxi sign exclude file(s) for them.

Hope this helps,

It might first be worth checking that there is not a duplicate airport somewhere on your system.

They are not visible on my ADE screen. I created the Exclude bos and checked taxiway signs, and tested it in fsx, but they were still there.

Just checked, I do not see any duplicates.

Did you run a scanner to look for duplicates?

No - the fault finder will not find duplicates. What we are talking about is duplicate airport files. For FSX - FSX Airport Scanner can be used to see if there are any duplicate airports contained in other bgl files.

Thanks! I just searched for duplicates using the FSX Airport Scanner and it said what is in the pictures. KLCI and 4B9 are others I did in the past, but those should not be a factor... right?:confused:

-thank you

Hi,

Go to the Scenery Library and deactivate the layer containing your airport. Do they appear now?

If not, then there is another file in that folder that contains them.

If they still appear, start deactivating about half of your addon scenery layers at a time. Narrow it down until you find the problem layer. That layer's BGL files contain the problem.

It they still appear when you have deactivated all your addon scenery, then they are part of the default airport and should be able to be removed by an exclude.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply!

When I deactivated the layer with the scenery, the extra taxiway signs did dissapear, But the ones that dissapeared were the new ones I put in for new taxiways. I excluded the old ones, but they still pop up.

-thank you
