• 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.

    P3D v6 FSUIPC

    Robert, you and Gary discussed this back in March and it was pointed out back then (not least by Jon) that he'd stepped back from development and archived the code for ADE. He made it clear that he wouldn't be re-opening development for P3D v6 in this thread. I reiterate that I have found ADE...

    P3D v6 FSUIPC

    ADE does not work properly with P3Dv6. Jon Masterson (Scruffyduck), ADE's author, was winding down as v6 arrived and didn't update ADE to accommodate the new sim. ADE 1.79 projects will generally work just fine in v6 as long you connect it to a PDK for v5.2 or later (in my experience), but I...

    Yes, it’s P3Dv5. I don’t have an FSX version. Glad you got it working!

    Here you go Chris. I've left the photoreal background out as it's 85mb!

    FSX Make ai use a certain runway

    Hi Chris. I’ve been absent from flight sim stuff for most of the last year or so, as there are other priorities in my life just at the moment. I’d have to go back and look at what I did to be certain, but I didn’t change anything like ‘range’. John Young and I have been using superimposed...

    Can you upload your ad4 file so we can have a look?

    ADE I have a bug between Airport Design Editor and FSX SE

    Ah, actually it’s for P3D and MSFS. I forgot you’re on FSX:SE. AIG is a lot older than either MSFS or Prepar3D so their files are very much compatible with FSX, but the Traffic Manager and Traffic Controller apps will automatically use AI aircraft that are P3D-only. It is still perfectly...

    ADE I have a bug between Airport Design Editor and FSX SE

    Sorry that I didn't reply earlier. Gary's links will give you a great deal of reading material about AIFP - which is a great program. You might also consider Alpha India Group's freeware Traffic Controller and Traffic Manager which will inject a great deal of civilian traffic into your sim. Kai...

    ADE I have a bug between Airport Design Editor and FSX SE

    Juan, without AI there is little reason to modify the airport! The overwhelming advantage of the FS9/FSX/P3D family of simulators over MSFS is that real-world traffic can be easily incorporated into the user's experience, and it brings the airports to life in a way that MSFS has never really...

    ADE I have a bug between Airport Design Editor and FSX SE

    Well done on finding a solution. However, your solution relies on no AI using MHSC! The way you've done it, both airports are in the sim with MHPR superimposed on MHSC. You now are likely to find that any AI routed to MHPR will 'wrong lane' onto the MHSC airfield and be unable to find a parking...

    ADE I have a bug between Airport Design Editor and FSX SE

    For ADE to have found MHPR within FSX but not find MHSC suggests that there is more than one corrupted file in your stock Scenery folder. Hopefully it's only area 0303, but you may be best off re-installing the sim. Making a modified airfield from a stock airfield is fairly straightforward, but...

    ADE I have a bug between Airport Design Editor and FSX SE

    Hi Gary. The offending building is the one to the right of the taxiway to the northern end of the airfield. This is situated over the apron he's added to reflect the airfield's current configuration as MHPR. I'm pretty sure that the original MHSC is still in his FSX install somewhere, and the...

    ADE I have a bug between Airport Design Editor and FSX SE

    I'm not sure why you've done it, but it seems you've loaded MHSC direct from the APX24260 file and you have presumably renamed it MHPR and saved the file within the 0303 scenery folder. Have a look in that folder and see what you have there. If you've saved your ADE project in there, you may...

    ADE I have a bug between Airport Design Editor and FSX SE

    MHSC does exist as a stock airport, and it loads straight into ADE. I did this myself to check the airport layout to see what your offending buildings are. MHPR does NOT exist in FSX (or P3D), and so you cannot load it. If you are finding MHPR in the scenery/0303 This is the entry for...

    ADE I have a bug between Airport Design Editor and FSX SE

    MHPR doesn't exist in FSX or P3D. If you have created an airport called MHPR in ADE, you must eliminate the airport MHSC (Soto Cano AB) using the process that Jon Masterson descibes here...

    FSX Make ai use a certain runway

    Chris, I had a quick go at it this evening. It works fine, though I had to rename the helo AFCAD EGP4 to deconflict from MAIW waypoints. The screenshots below are from my modified stock EGPF with the new EGP4. As you can see, traffic is present on both airfields (I quickly knocked up a test...

    FSX Make ai use a certain runway

    I've just looked at the P3Dv5 stock EGPB. If you're starting from that you're going to have to get a little creative to make it work. I believe the helicopter parking is on the west side of the airfield, so your helo traffic will have to cross runway 33-15 to access the helicopter-only runway...

    FSX Make ai use a certain runway

    Hi Chris. Just to make clear you have to create a brand new AFCAD using ADE. Start from whatever Sumburgh AFCAD you’re already using and delete anything not relevant to heli ops. Rename it as described above. Make sure the taxi routes work, and you might want to use a separate ground frequency...

    FSX Make ai use a certain runway

    Don't use EGPH - that's Edinburgh! I always use a combination of the main airfield's ICAO with a number - EGP1, for example. You will need to ensure that the taxi routes don't follow the main airfield's links too closely (and delete all the main airfield links that access the helo-only runway...
