• 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.

Hi Dick I sent you a screenshot of my saved proyect which apparently was not send.
So let me ask you. What do you mean that the project nedds to be compiled. I dont see any compile function in ADE only save, which is what I have done and the project saves to F20
In that folder there is in effect a Package folder that needs to be copied to Community. However this folder is empty
Can you please tell me what is it that I am doing wrong
Regards

Just noticed that on the saved project folder at the bottom of it there are 4 files:
an edited ad20 file
an edited apf file
an edited xml file
an autosave.ad20 file
question: could this flies be the ones the empty package folder should show? if so, should I drag them to the empty package folder and then copy paste it to community?
regards
 
This is what compiles your project and places it in the Packages folder:

All seems to work fine, project is being compiled, then ADE asks to save to community & finally an OK that its been done. The compiled package folder now has content & is not empty.
Checked community & the compiled folder should appear there, as it was named , I placed the same name of the airport together with Edited, but it doesn't show in the list?
Appreciate your comment. Will travelling as of tomorrow so I will check your comment on my way back
Regards & thanks a lot for your help
 
Good morning guys. Just to keep you posted, the compiled package has to be copy & pasted to community. The automatic save to community in ADE is not working. Have now MSFS recognizing edited stock airports
Thanks for your invaluable help
Best regards, see you next time
 
Hope Dick reads this post since its been a while since the last one.
Issue is that having,saved the proyect with ADA Alpha,compiled it, & then copied the folder inside the compiled package to Community, the project does shows in MSFS. How ever the ILS that have been added to runways do not show at the sim when setting up the Flight plan.
Wonder why & appreciate some ideas if somebody reads this post
 
I only use Simbrief guess this isn’t enough & I should subscribe to Navigraph. But let me ask you: Navigraph will overrride the created ILS & bring up its data which has no ILS on the airport that I am trying to edit with ADE ALPHA, so I am back to cero. Am I wrong.
 
To be more clear, this is an example of what I am trying to do:
KVPS stock runways have no ILS. So I have created one on Runway 30 with ADE ALPHA, saved and compiled it and then saved the folder inside the created package to Community.
Once this is done, I open MSFS import from Simbrief the created KPAM to KVPS flight plan and Runway 30 shows no ILS.
 
From SimBrief:
SimBrief's navigational database is powered by Navigraph, the flight simulation community's trusted source for updated charts and navigational data. Navigraph subscribers always have access to the latest navigational data on SimBrief, while those without a subscription can freely use the default data cycle (which is slightly dated).
SimBrief uses Navigraph, so it won't show custom ILS as far as I can tell.
 
By custom ILS you mean that Simbrief won't show the ILS created with the edited proyect?
 
Funny thing is that the edited airports do show inserted warehouses. gas stations etc when the sim is opened :) I can't understand why is this really happening if MSFS is showing in fact the edited proyect.
And of course my question is what else can be done. Thanks for your patience & for bearing with me.
regards
