• 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.

    FSX Best Practice for Moving a Runway with ILS

    I'm looking to modify KCMH by repositioning 10R/28L to its new location. I was curious if there is a "best practice" when using ADE to move an existing runway to a new location when that runway has existing ILS and approaches. Thanks for the guidance.

    FSX How do I determine default landclass?

    I've searched through FSDeveloper threads and I am not finding the answer to this question: How do I determine what the default FSX landclass is at any one location? For example, if I want to know what the default landclass is surrounding an airport (so that I can do a specific landclass...

    Using Waypoints

    Is there a way to make AI aircraft fly to/from specific waypoints? For example, if I would like my military AI aircraft to use the military routes when flying to/from MOAs, can I do that using AIFP or another tool?

    Why Are There Airports w/o Parking in FSX?

    Yes, I am admittedly behind the learning curve on this, but I just discovered a stock airport that doesn't have a single parking spot. I'm not talking about a cornfield airport, but a pretty large military base. I didn't know those existed in FSX. No wonder I couldn't get my AI flight plans...

    Ade & Fs9

    Are airports that are created using ADE compatible with FS9?

    Fuel Trigger

    So I'm building my airport and want to add a fuel parking ramp. When I test the fuel parking ramp nothing happens. Meaning, if I have a 1/2 tank of petrol and park at the ramp, my fuel remains the same. Do I need to add a fuel trigger for this to work? Can I do that via ADE or SBuilderX...

    Problematic Parking?

    As I was recently working through the apron layout at an airport, I noticed the GA parking spaces were aligned in a way that might not work in FSX. Based on GE imagery, the parking seems to be layed out in an alternating east/west configuration. But, if AI tries to park this way, how could it...

    ILS Alignment Test & ADE

    So, I'm almost completed with my next airport project, KSGH. I've redone most of the airport scenery, realigned the taxiways and aprons, added ANG parking (thanks to jim and reggie), etc. However, I've noticed flying into rwy 24 that when I'm on the ILS localizer, it appears to be misaligned...

    How to sync ADE w/ SBuilderX

    In redesigning a local municipal airport (KSGH), I'm using both ADE and SBuilderX. I'm using ADE to rework the taxiways/aprons and SBuilderX to work with exclusions, scenery, and objects. For both, I am using a Visual Earth image as the background for alignment and measurments. The problem...

    WhisPlacer: modifying/moving default objects

    So, I downloaded Whisplacer .9 and started working with it. A question I have is that if I want to modify the default objects in the obx files in FSX, how do I modify just the area I want without having to modify/replace the entire stock obx file? I load the stock file, which gives me all...

    ADE 1.05 and Memory Management

    I noticed that after I downloaded v1.05 and ran ADE along with FSX that everything slowed down quite a bit. I didn't notice this as much with previous versions. I know one of the fixes to v1.05 was memory management. Would this explain the change in performance?

    SBuilderX Macro - Compiler Error

    Error Message when scrolling

    Sometimes when I'm scrolling across an airport using my mouse I get the following error and an ADE shutdown: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. at System.Drawing.SafeNativeMethods.Gdip.GdipDrawPath(HandleRef graphics...

    Military Ramps

    How do military ramps work differently than GA ramps? I take it that you won't see military aircraft using these unless you have them as aircraft add-ons? There is an ANG wing at an airport I'm working on. If I have, for example, an f-16 add-on aircraft, will that aircraft only use the...

    Inebriated ATC or Design Flaw?

    ADE Team, Not sure this is an ADE issue, but when I added a new taxiway to an airport I'm working on now and tested, the ATC seems to give some rather odd taxi instructions. The runway has two taxiways, one on both the north and south sides of the runway. The ATC would direct aircraft to...

    Concrete over Asphalt

    ADE Team, Another thing I noticed while working with my KCMH redesign is that when I placed a concrete tarmac object over an asphalt tarmac object, I could not see the concrete object when I compiled and tested in FSX. I tried to go back and "send to back" the asphalt object, and while it...

    Cut & Paste Functionality

    Just completed my first revised airport using ADE: KCMH. During my redesign, I kept wishing there were a copy/paste function for the many objects with which I was working. It would have saved a lot of time. If it's currently a function, I couldn't seem to get it to work (ctrl-c,ctrl-x,or...

    Invisible Overruns

    Hi there. First let me say I'm loving ADE. I've been able to do some pretty cool stuff with my home airport. Now, I'm having a problem with runway overruns. When I select my runway and select to show overruns, ADE shows them on the display. However, when I go into FSX, the overruns don't...
