• 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.

I have just released a bug fix update for ADE which should address some of the current reported bugs and issues:

Updated
  • [11135] The font for runway numbers has been changed to be closer to the sim. A small update has also been made to drawing threshold markings for FSX/P3D.
  • [11120] Allow users to specify a suffix when creating a new approach. Also the duplicate approach test now takes account of the approach suffix if present


Fixed
  • [11146] CTD caused by ADE not reading the current country information correctly in some circumstances
  • [11143] Stopped the display right click menu from opening when mouse is not over the display area
  • [11111] CTD in odd situations where right click menu is opened off the display area
  • [11059] CTD caused by user project save folder that does not exist
  • [11122] It should no longer be possible to rotate a user locked object using tge mousewheel
  • [11142] Exclusion Rectanges should now import from Bgl files and Xml Files
  • [11119] The D key should now show any hidden objects in a project when it is loaded. (ProKey only)
  • [11115] Issue with orphan runway used to orphan ILS duplicating and causing a compiler error
This is now available via the on-line updater. I will wrap this into the full installer when I get time
 
It is working here - is your internet connection OK? Can you provide a screenshot please?
 
ADE Version 1.66.5684 produces unhandled exception when trying to draw a taxi line from an existing node that connects to at least another taxi line.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Draw a taxi line, eg let's say points A to B.
2. With the taxi line tool still selected, attempt to draw another taxi line whose one point is either A or B.
3. Hover the mouse over point A or B.
4. The point is highlighted meaning that whatever you draw from here will be connected to this point.
5. The moment you do a mousebuttondown event with the left mouse button, in order to start drawing the new line, an unhandled exception occurs. And the following messabox (with abort retry ignore options) is displayed:

Code: 
Assertion Failed

Must use the rewriter when using Contract. Requires<TException>

Now if you drag the mouse (as if everything was normal), and release it (a mousebuttonup event) another error window (from ADE this time) pops up with the following message:

Code: 
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  at ScruffyDuck.AirportDesignEditor.EventHandlers.ADENewTaxipathHandler.AddTaxipath()
  at ScruffyDuck.AirportDesignEditor.EventHandlers.ADENewTaxipathHandler.OnEndDrag(Object sender, PInputEventArgs


The same bug occurs even if in 2, you attempt to draw a closed line (red) or a path (green).

Expected behavior:

In 5. a new taxi line should be drawn with one point being one of the existing points (A or B).



PS: Please provide a download link to the previous version 1.66.5555, as this is a showstopper bug and ADE is completely unusuable at the moment.
 
Please send me the log. I have pulled the update. If you have it already then I will get a fix out as soon as I can find what is going on.

I already sent the log via the ADE error window (send button) even before I wrote the post above.

In the meantime, how can we have back the older 1.66.5555 version?

Yes, that's exactly the entire messagebox that is displayed when you press the left mouse button.
 
I have the problem and I know what is wrong - I just updated to Visual Studio 2015 and it seems not to have included all the parts that ADE needs in the current build. Please accept my apoligues for any inconvenience. It is not actually my code which is unchanged but a missing inclusion in VS2015 which I am now adding. If you cannot wait for a fix then please download the full installer from here: http://www.scruffyduck.org/downloads/4584110854 Do not accept any updates if they are offered until I confirm that it is OK to do so. Anyone without this bad update should not get the problem since the bad update has been removed.

EDIT
OK it is fixed here and I am just doing some extra testing to be sure.
 
The fix is up. If you run the bad version of ADE you should be offered 1.67.5684 I incremented the version number to force another update today. It works fine here on my test machine but I would be pleased for confirmation that it works also for you.
