• 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 Just trying to change Airline Codes in Parking place, but having problems

    I may have spoken too soon Hi Jim -- I just noticed the ATC is only offering visual approaches into KMSP (I hadn't noticed until now because I usually depart MSP.) Any ideas about whether the approach data can be restored? Thanks for your attention.

    FSXA Using flyable aircraft sounds for AI

    I've recently been converting sound folders to aisound folders within AI aircraft, with mixed results. At face value, it sounds as if some external sounds - you can hear just fine, others seem to drop in and out, and some just aren't played at all (or ar so quiet they can't be heard). I've...

    FSX Just trying to change Airline Codes in Parking place, but having problems

    Thanks Jim -- I discovered that I had an ADE work file in the work folder of an older version of ADE. I was able to open that project up with 1.47, the radio comm frequencies were intact, and I could make the parking space changes I needed to. Thanks everyone for your help!

    FSX Just trying to change Airline Codes in Parking place, but having problems

    I open the .bgl file in ADEX, version 1.47. When I check Lists>Comms, there are no frequencies displayed. Save the airport, so it becomes a .ad2 extension. Open the project, make the parking spot changes. Save the project, compile it, and move the created .bgl file to the Addon...

    FSX Just trying to change Airline Codes in Parking place, but having problems

    Sorry to have intruded. Since my goal was only to change the parking codes to reflect current assignments, I hadn't intended to completely re-build the airport. I was very appreciative of Jim to offer me the opportunity to test this airport before it was released. Since I was able to make...

    FSX Just trying to change Airline Codes in Parking place, but having problems

    Any ideas? I'd really like to get the Humphrey parking changed to reflect the present.

    FSX Just trying to change Airline Codes in Parking place, but having problems

    I believe I remember making similar parking changes to the file with version 1.42, but now that I've recompiled and am having the issues with the missing items, I've downloaded Jim's file again from Avsim, so I'm starting from scratch again with the modifications. Is there something special I'm...

    FSX Just trying to change Airline Codes in Parking place, but having problems

    Airport was created with an older version of ADE (circa 2008 - Jim Vile's KMSP.) Opened from an existing bgl file. When I compiled changes and put the new ,bgl in the Add On Scenery/Scenery Folder, the only radio frequency available was KMSP traffic. I imported the stock Comm Radios, but they...

    FSX Just trying to change Airline Codes in Parking place, but having problems

    I have an existing ADE file where all I am attempting to do is change the Airline parking codes and change the size on a single space. But after I compile it, the radio frequencies and the buildings disappear. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

    The Most Imaginative Excuse?

    Not boo, but moo I do recall stories of the Grey Lady in search of her (or someone else's) head when I lived in Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, UK during college. But back home in Minnesota, the late night bellowing of a cow in labor or the faint wail of a train whistle is about as scary as...

    SOS - ADE file that used to work doesn't any more

    Even with the inactive scenery area ticked, there were still no files returned. That was when I decided to go in and re-activate the already activated Add-on Scenery folder in FSX. It's working again, which is good. (I'm an IT Business Systems Analyst, so the quest for the root cause is...

    SOS - ADE file that used to work doesn't any more

    I fixed it, but still don't know the root cause of the issue. The fact that Airport Scanner didn't return any results seemed odd to me, so I went back into the Scenery Manager. Add-on Scenery displayed as Enabled in the FSX Settings-Scenery Library, but to humor myself, I went back in, clicked...

    SOS - ADE file that used to work doesn't any more

    I used Airport Scanner, which reported no duplicates for KMSP. However, it does appear I have multiple scenery.cfg files, and when I run Airport Scanner against the scenery.cfg file that is being updated when I make changes to scenery, it doesn't return any results when the filter is set to...

    SOS - ADE file that used to work doesn't any more

    Affirmative -- I opened up the .bgl file in ADE9x 1.47.7which had been modified with an earlier version of ADE (changing parking assignments). After noticing the default file was active for KMSP, I opened the .bgl file. I ran the fault finder, and whatever action I took when closing ADE9...

    SOS - ADE file that used to work doesn't any more

    I have one of Jim Vile's files for KMSP. Outward appearances tonight are that FSX is reverting to the default file, instead of Jim's file. It's been a while since I flew to MSP -- and I don't think I've flown there since I went from ADE to ADE9. I opened up the file in my Add-on Scenery...

    Looking for assistance -- missing effects

    Thank you!! All of the fx textures had been moved to the master textures folder, but I don't know how. That's now been rectified. It's good to see everything back. Thanks for the help!

    A couple AI sound questions

    I've been hunting around for some replacement sound packs for my AI aircraft (hopefully once the AVSIM file library is restored, the search will be more fruitful). I have a couple questions. 1. From a performance standpoint, is it a better practice to alias the soundai files from a single a/c...

    Looking for assistance -- missing effects

    I think I figured it out, but another question The textures for the touchdown effects resided in the main Texture folder, and not the Texture folder nested in the Effects folder. When I moved them into the nested folder, I could once again see the touchdown effects. Can I infer then that...

    Looking for assistance -- missing effects

    The modified date for fx_tchdwn.fx and fx_tchdwn_s.fx is the same as all the other default files, so outward appearances are those files haven't been modded. (I also have a fx_tchdwn_m.fx file -- not sure what it does -- that was created on a later date than the other two.) The back-up file...

    Looking for assistance -- missing effects

    I have recently lost my touchdown (and possibly contrail) effects on all a/c. I've validated the fx_tchdwn.fx files are still in the Effects folder, and that all A/C still have the [EFFECTS] section of the .cfg files indicating the correct file name. The only recent changes are install of REX...
