• 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.

    FS2004 Simulator not accepting new AFCAD changes

    Hi y'all, Recently started updating my AUS airport again, this time adding approaches. I had started from scratch (long story) saving an airport file out of the afcad file from the AUS2007 addon scenery, and had no problems changing gates, adding buildings, etc. But when I started to add...

    Approach mode has no altitude option

    Building some approaches for FLL. I know in the past I could select the base altitude for a given leg, but know it seems that option is completely gone. IF, CF, VI have no altitudes. CA and HF do. I'm only able to see this much for a leg. I witnessed this error in the 165 version, though...

    FS2004 Convert bgl to ad4?

    Unfortunately I made the dumb mistake forgetting to save my project files (as well as a lot of modded aircraft I forgot about) when resetting my PC, so they were lost. I still have the bgl files for the afcad, but I cannot modify these as in the past, the sim does not fully acknowledge all...

    FS2004 Secondary tower frequencies not always active

    Hi y'all, Was wondering why sometimes extra tower frequencies at an airport however listed are not active? I annoyingly noticed at MCO when the same tower was speaking to both the West and East side on a pretty busy day. Same with LAX. I checked with ADE to see if the frequencies are properly...

    FS2004 Frame Rates

    I uploaded my O'Hare 2018 upgrade a couple of months ago. Very often (this wasn't always the case, at least as far as I remember) the frame rates are kinda bad, mostly when the screen has a lot of aircraft in the picture. Most of the scenery was just default buildings added and a crud-ton of...

    FS2004 ATC assigning landings to runways closed to landings on both ends

    Been working on my O'Hare project. I have the five 9/10 runways created, all with ILS approaches. Unfortunately there are a few instances where the simulator will assign me runway 10L for landing when I have both of those ends closed off in ADE (this happens when I am getting my IFR clearance to...

    Inconsistent maximum number of gate assignments

    Howdy y'all, long time no see. I've spent .... a long time working on upgrading O'Hare's default airport to match what it is today (well more circa 2018). Only thing that's annoying me is that I can't have as many gate code assignments as I'd like to have, and even if I remove all the codes...

    Project Finder won't open

    Hey y'all. Bit of a minor problem/inconvenience that I know I screwed up myself. Whenever I go to the Project menu and click "Find", I'm no longer able to see the individual projects right away, so instead I have to go to file and "open airport" instead. I believe the "find" menu is somehow...

    FS2004 Parts of jetways missing at FRF MIA

    Hi y'all, tried asking this question over at flightsim but it didn't appear like anybody was really able to help since I've already done the most obvious steps towards fixing it (changing settings). Here's what I wrote for the most part: "I decided to fly into MIA and all was great except upon...

    FS2004 Restore hidden objects?

    Actually the real question is how to view buildings in an afcad file; there isn't a Seattle scenery that updates most of the airport (also I'm trying to keep myself from buying too many sceneries), so I've been using an afcad file someone uploaded to a site which adds the third runway. However...

    FS2004 Disappearing AI after Pushback

    I certainly don't want to start a new thread when I'm still in the middle of sorting through another with obnoxious GA, but this is one of those issues that'll haunt me in the back of my mind if not addressed. This has happened before at my MCI; aircraft are cleared to their destination, then...

    FS2004 GA Aircraft at SNA Gates

    I have no idea what to do anymore; I have about several Gulfstream jets parked at John Wayne's gates. There is already very little gate space available at SNA, so I cannot afford to lose any space to GA aircraft. So here's what I did, one at a time: 1.) Increased parking size for GA traffic...

    FS2004 Another... odd thing at ATL

    This happened at the same runway where the aircraft stops before exiting the runway, except after eventually exiting the runway, it did this thing (I wasn't observing it when it happened). Wat. It eventually disappeared, and was nowhere to be found at the airport for some reason. As for...

    FS2004 Possible for AI Aircraft to de-rail?

    Recently (and I've observed this before in the past), I've observed that after touching down at ATL's 27L, the AI starts to turn to exit the runway, but it becomes "stuck" and never moves again, causing any aircraft to be forced to go-around indefinitely. I shrugged it off and simply hoped I...

    FS2004 Holding short

    I've got two variations of this problem, which I encounter every now and then depending on the airport (usually those with crossing runways, *cough O'Hare*). In one instance, an aircraft was landing onto 32R at O'Hare (a runway that I had closed /completely/ for departures and arrivals..... dam...

    FS2004 Yes/No vs True/False (runways)

    I notice that when selecting if a runway can be used for take offs/landings, I'm given the above options. What's the difference in the two?

    FS2004 Denver Runways

    Greetings all. I recently paid a visit to DEN and decided my own FS9 could have a more realistic Denver Airport (minus all the conspiracies!). I initially set up the runways to operate like that in DFW; inner two for take offs, outer two for landings. But I observed... The 16000 foot runway...

    Is FS9 required to use ADE?

    Hello, I ask because I recall using ADE on my laptop (when the simming computer is unavailable), but the sim tells me "cannot find bglcomp.exe". Therefore I couldn't compile If I were to recover this executable, would I in theory be able to use ADE? PS, I just noticed the airport file had an...

    Missing/Deleted scenery.cfg?

    Hello again, Not sure if this is the right place for troubleshooting, but I'll post anyways and this'll just get moved otherwise. ...or maybe this ain't the forum for that. I started my flight sim day by double clicking the FS9 shortcut, and I am greeted with a dialog saying "The...

    ILS IDs, Freqs, and Headings Missing

    Hi guys, New guy here, and you can address me in any way you'd like. I've been using ADE since early this year to mainly re-arrange the layout of gates at airports with very little space for AI aircraft, and it's been very useful (and pretty when I see all the different color bubbles of the...
