• 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.

This is an update to Alpha 20 which should fix the handling of user specified models (added to a project as glTF source) This was very broken in Alpha 20 Changes are


Updated
  • Handling of user added models (user models)
Fixed
  • Placement, footprint, handle rotation and data for user models
Removed
  • List of Models. This has been depreciated and replaced with the User Model Manager Dialog
  • Generic Building Manager and Add Generic Building. Generic buildings do not work in MSFS

To install
  • Open the main ADE 2020 Alpha 20 folder and rename or make a safe copy of Airport Design Editor 20.exe and jmSDELib.dll
  • Copy the two new files from the zip into the main folder to replace the existing
  • Start ADE it should report itself as version 20.20.7893
The included pdf file has updated information covering the new User Model handling functions. Please do read it before proceeding since the work process for User Models is very much changed. The relevant notes start on page 3 of the included pdf file.


ADE 2020 Alpha 20 HF1 can be downloaded from here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/221qpx72rfj9dej/ade_2020_alpha_20_HF1.zip/file

LATE NOTE If you have added a modelLib library to the LOM or any of the models in it then ADE will read from the LOM before the UserModelManager. This probably needs switching around. In any case if you have user model libraries in your projects you probably should not have them in the LOM and should consider removing them from the LOM so the User Model Manager gets preference

Jon, quick report back. I am liking the new method of working with user models. The placement and getting footprints work as you describe and was a lot simpler. YEA!!! I will report more if need be as i continue to work on my project. Thanks a bunch.
