• 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.

    AI ship traffic BGL

    Understand! But no problem for what I want to do. The first thing is solved already. As I found out that some funny discoveries where part of an add-on scenery I just had to disengage the corresponding bgl-file. Discoveries like this one are gone now: The second idea is to add some...

    Ribbon Bar or Not?

    Don' t know if my voice has any weight here yet. Anyway - a very clear and strong 'NO' for a ribbon bar from my side. I just don' t see the necessity for a ribbon bar in ADE. What might be nice for windows applications doesn' t have to be nice for other tools automatically. (hope you...

    AI ship traffic BGL

    Thank you, George! I think I' ve found a more comfortable way to identify the shipping route: I draw a new line from the beginning to the first turning point precisely on top of the existing one in GoogleEarth. Then I saved that one as a kml-file. I opened the new kml-file and from the line...

    AI ship traffic BGL

    Hi George! As I said, 'So far I didn' t manage to identify the corresponding shipping route in the kml-file' (and to try that I opened it with WordPad naturally). The very first shipping route within that file is called <name>400</name> which is not very helpful. The following data are...

    AI ship traffic BGL

    Maybe it is interesting for you, or - just to keep you posted: Yes, BTC works on 64 bit Vista. But it does not run with Java for 64 bit OS. I installed Java 6 for 32 bit OS instead now. As a first step I extracted 3 files with BTC - BoatsBoats.txt - PlansBoats.txt - RoutesBoats.kml...

    AI ship traffic BGL

    Hi! I just stumbled over this thread and have 2 questions: Does the BTC also work on 64 bit Vista? Do I really have to install Java 5.0? I have Java 6.0 (for 64 bit OS) installed. Background: After flying over the North Sea I wanted to brush up the AI ships traffic a little. Funny...

    Great that you got back to this topic once again! Arno, my programming know-how is lightyears away from yours. But I think at least I have quite a logical approach to computer related issues - nothing more, nothing less. Well - I thought, we do have seasonal changes in FSX. So there...

    Maybe that this is not the right place to post my idea but let me tell you: I just downloaded Ray Smith' s version of CYVR Vancouver Intl from Scruffy Duck Download Center Ray also featured de-icing trucks in his scenery. Some of them sit on a seperate car park and others are located on...

    Thank you Jon. I just installed and tested the updated version. Everything works perfect now. Great job (and very fast)!

    Thumbs up! Thank you, Jon!

    v1.40.7 - Arrow Keys

    The significant change is that - as far as I can judge - the arrow keys never had an impact on the Tool Bar, now they have. To replicate what I said just click on 'Add Taxi Link' once and immediately after that press any of the arrow keys. You will realize that this will change the...

    v1.40.7 - Arrow Keys

    Sure! Let' s say that I want to get a taxi link between 2 RWYs. I click on the button 'Add Taxi Link' first to set a Taxi Point somewhere on the black centerline (Taxipath Type Runway) of the one RWY. But I forgot to position the airport layout so that I can start the drawing. In 1.37 I then...

    v1.40.7 - Arrow Keys

    Thank you very much for the latest version of ADE! It is great fun working with it and a perfect tool for getting a completly different insight to the world of FSX as from virtual FL340. Probably a minor issue and for me the only disadvantage coming with v1.40 so far is that the arrow keys do...

    Importing .mdl file into GMAX

    Hi Arno, could you probably name two or three viewers here and add the corresponding links where to get them? That would be very helpful! Dank u!
