• 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.

    MSFS20 ADE Stock (Asobo) Jetways links

    I just ran across something odd and I was wondering either if I caused it or it's a generic issue with ADE. I modified and built a stock airport package and I noticed that as a result, in MSFS a few of the stock jetways were disconnected from their links because the links were too short. I went...

    MSFS20 SimConnect Create Static SimObject issue.

    I did get it to display by checking vertex color.😁

    MSFS20 SimConnect Create Static SimObject issue.

    Albedo color is already set correctly, but I will set the drawcall checkbox to vertex color.

    MSFS20 SimConnect Create Static SimObject issue.

    Rick, I did find this older thread (2021) where people were claiming that MSFS ignored textureless materials and displayed the object as white: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/material-colors-not-displaying-in-msfs.453561/

    MSFS20 SimConnect Create Static SimObject issue.

    Thanks. I'm away from my computer until early next week but I'll give you some background. I'm working on a 3rd party add-on that has been converted from FSX/P3d to MSFS. For some reason this one static object that the app creates, which is magenta in P3d, shows up as white in MSFS. The object...

    MSFS20 SimConnect Create Static SimObject issue.

    Has anyone experienced a problem trying to create a static SimObject using SimConnect with only an RGB material (no texture files)? The object is in glTF and displays correctly in MCX. However in MSFS it has no color, only white. I know that such objects work okay when used directly by the sim...

    Official Airport to SDK project: here is a small app to help you (draft)

    I just realized that Airport2Project will also create XML from NAX BGL files. At least it has for the few that I've tried.

    What is this? PackageBuilder - No partial lister for asset type BGL

    I've been getting this warning recently also. It doesn't seem to negatively affect the build and the few posts online about this warning are not helpful.

    MSFS20 Possible help with isolated parking TropicalSim TNCC

    As an alternative, open the project in MSFS developer mode and see if it matches the ADE display. Then try saving the project to a different folder and then build the project. See if it generates any errors. You can also check the xml file in Package Sources with Notepad++ to see if you can...

    MSFS20 ADE 2020 Alpha 21 HF5

    Hey, you're retired!;) But thanks, I'll leave that unchecked, since I'm just checking taxiway letters and parking codes on the MSFS stock airports. But I do want to echo what someone else said. You might want to consider putting ADE's code on GitHub, so someone could create branches that...

    MSFS20 ADE 2020 Alpha 21 HF5

    Something else seems broken on ADE HF21. It no longer saves background image files. They load and display fine with geographic coordinates, but then when the project is saved by ADE and reopened, the image is no longer included in the project.. It's not just a question of visibility, as the...

    designated runways

    One can segregate aircraft by adding Do the two sets of planes have unique parking codes (or other distinguishing feature that affects parking such as wingspan)? If not, you are out of luck, as others have stated. If they had unique codes, the solution is still convoluted. You would have to...

    List Parking not visible ADE 01.79.7475

    Yep. The parking list is displayed on the secondary monitor. I reported this before. The workaround is to start with a different list maximized and then change to parking in the listbox. My foggy memory is that you searched the code and window objects and there was nothing different about the...

    Eh, those are pretty minor issues, but I appreciate it. The present version of ADE works really well.

    MSFS20 ADE Alpha 21 HF2 Project not saved

    Thanks. Also a few other things that I've noticed recently. The R key select doesn't always show the black bounding box. I'm at 4K screen resolution, so maybe that's the issue. And when selecting single taxiway links, raw data view is shown, rather than the editing dialog. It's only important...

    MSFS20 ADE Alpha 21 HF2 Project not saved

    Could it have something to do with the "Load previous project" option? At least by turning that off and loading the project from the menu, I could get rid of the dialog box mentioned above. That also allowed me to edit items and the edits were saved for the next session. I'm sorry to be a bit...
