• 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.

The attached file contains a beta version of ADE which includes support for P3D v3.

Please note that if there are any new features or facilities in v3 over P3d v2 then support for them is not included but will become available in later versions. This version does two things:
  • Provides a P3D v3 option for ADE when that sim is present on the users computer
  • No longer automatically offers Addon Scenery\scenery as a default folder to compile to. ADE now checks to see if that folder is present in the user installation (this is version independent) and if it is not then the option to use it to compile to will be unavailable. Should the user manually add such a folder say to P3D v3 then ADE should automatically make it available as a compile to option.
This is a zip file with no installer. To install
  • Unzip the zip file to a suitable location. Do not install it into any sim or over your existing version of ADE. Install it into a fresh location
  • Run it and use the New User Wizard to set up your options
Please be aware this is a beta. I would appreciate any feedback on issues

The file can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/a7ue3ugmcuvxm5h/ade_167_5775_beta.zip

I do not want to use P3DV3 in my sim. How to avoid update or upload? Can you please separate two programs for ADE9 and ADEP3DV3 two options program runs? Wouldn't you? If you have update you can update two different program ADE9 and P3DV3 at same time in the future.

Thanks,

Stuart
 
If you do not have P3D v3 installed on your computer then you would see no difference with ADE. It only works with the sim versions that are present. ADE supports FS9, FSX, P3D v1, P3D v2 and now P3D v3. If you only have FS9 installed then you will never see the option to use the other versions. It would be impractical to maintain separate versions for separate sims.
 
Works wonderfully! Thanks so much, I needed this in order to allow P3D to show taxiway textures (through the Taxi Links 'Draw Flags' option). Also, is there any way to apply this reset setting to multiple .bgl's? ...In an attempt to avoid going into each of my updated AFCAD files.

Thanks again,
-Sam
 
Thanks for the feedback and no sorry but fixing the Draw Flags option can't be done in batch mode.
 
Hi,

I've installed this beta for 2 or 3 days now. And I've encounter a problem. Maybe a bug.
When I want to draw a custom ground line, in the option, when I choose "gp_PatternedLines_40F" as a texture the second "sub" menu is greyed out and I can't validate the option because the OK button is than greyed out too.



I didn't change anything in ADE config files or add some custom textures. (I'm pretty new to ADE and Airport designing in P3D/FSX).

Edit : Oh, and I've done the same steps in the previous version (1.65) and it is working.

Best regards,
Denis.
 
Denis, this is what I would expect to see if there was no Lines_Def.txt file present or the selected texture was not included in it.

Don
 
The Lines_def.txt is present.

The selected texture is the one that is by default present and I see the thumbernail when I hover it. (The menu that is greyed out pop out when I choose gp_PatternedLines_40F and I can select one of the "sub" texture but after selecting one it is greyed out). And the texture is present in the textures folder.
 
Denis, I'm afraid I'll need a little clearer explanation. As regards Line_def.txt "being there, please note there was an "or" in my response.

In any case, the latest version of ADE_GP Editor (1.0.26) has been "out there" for a couple of months. I am unable to duplicate your issue and no one else is reporting it. I suggest you take another look at your beta configuration to ensure it is identical to your earlier configuration. I would also note that ADE 1.65 has been obsolete for some time.

Don
 
I didn't had a previous configuration. I've only tested ADE1.65 afterwards to see if there was the same issue.

I'm extracting the archive. Launch it right after (and configuring the path to P3Dv3). Open an airport. Trying to add ground lines and here I am with that issue. :D

But since I'm the only one in this case, it is probably coming from my pc.

I will live with it for now.

Thanks for your time. ;)
 
Hi Jon,

About the beta testing... Every single time I open the app is giving me the message about ADE ProKey evaluation license (15 days evaluation)
Do I have to buy any license to use the final version or is it just a matter of the beta testing file?

Thank you for the quick rework of the program for P3D v3 users.

Regards.

Martin
 
Ooops :oops: Looks like I accidentally included the ProKey file. You don't need it to use ADE with any version of FS or P3D. Just find the Plugins folder inside the ADE main folder and remove the file called ProKey.dll and the messages will stop

Hi Jon,

For those of us who purchased a ProKey do we need to do anything special with the Beta version?

Cheers, Rob.
 
The ProKey will work with any version of ADE.

Click to expand...

did this ever get resolved? I'm a new user, I installed the base program fresh and immediately installed the beta update for P3Dv3 support. I'm having the same exact problem as described. Cannot complete ground lines or ground polygons as the Ok button never becomes active.
 
Danny, I don't recall seeing this particular post. Nonetheless, I expect the problem to be that there are no definitions relating to "gp_PatternedLines_40F" in Lines_Def.txt.
