MSFS ADE For MSFS Error.

[andyjohnston.net]

I get the error "Could not load file or assembly ...AvailableAddins.dll or one of its dependencies."

I have checked, and the file is there.

Thanks for all your work!

Hi. On Windows 10 the dlls will probably be blocked. You need to locate that dll (and the others in that folder) and unblock them in the properties. I’m pretty sure Jon put these steps in the document

It is in the Notes pdf about how to fix this.

I get the following:

PS C:\msfs\ADE_MSFS> Get-ChildItem "V:\alpha_10" -recurse -file | % {Unblock-File -Path $_.FullName}

Get-ChildItem : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'file'.

[scruffyduck]

it seems you used the command with the example path to the ADE installation in it. change "V:\alpha_10" to the path to the folder you put the ADE program in to. Failing that do the files one at a time based on the information in the link

Or, unblock the zip file before extracting.

Ah okay, somehow I didn't catch that and thought I was to use that command as supplied.

How long should it take to build? I created a new project, just a runway and an exclude to start. After clicking build, I left it for a long time, but no cmd window ever appeared, and there is nothing in the packages folder for the project.

 

[scruffyduck]

it can be up to a minute.

 

[andyjohnston.net]

That's about what I was guessing, my project has never built. It should be in the packages folder, correct? Not package definitions or something.

Any thoughts as to why it might not be building? All the folders are set.

 

[scruffyduck]

If you can't build your project then make a backup of it and attach it to a post here so we can check it, The backup a project use Project > Backup

This will create a zipped backup of the project located in the root folder you set for projects. Just post that here and we can take a look

Yes it should build in the Packages folder. I don't know why its not but we cross posted so make a backup and post it and we will try to build it. BTW are you using the MS or Steam Edition of MSFS?

 

[andyjohnston.net]

I'm using the MS version. I have created the backup and included it. I've thrown a few little taxiways in to see if it would help build, no difference.

 

[andyjohnston.net]

Oh interesting. I closed everything down, then relaunched, and tried to build. I get the attached error.

Looks like you need to re-install the SDK. That is not an ADE error

 

[scruffyduck]

OK - I loaded your project and it built fine here with SDK '9'

The 1 failed package is because you have not entered a title or creator but it is not a fatal issue and the main package built

And it appears in sim. You have a lot of vegetation that needs clearing - the Exclusion Rectangle won't work but it is there

 

[andyjohnston.net]

What's the best method to clear the vegetation? I used to do it using landclass polys, is that method still valid?

 

[scruffyduck]

runways, aprons and taxiways have attributes to clear vegetation. Vegetation can be set using a scenery polygon. According to one of my contacts in Asobo MSFS abuses aprons. You will find that there are up to 10 times as many aprons for a MSFS airport against the same airport for FSX. There is even a surface material called CLEAR_SURFACE which I have not checked but suspect it might clear the ground?

Help!
After reinstalling the sdk, I still get that runtime dll error. The version of the sdk is 0.9.0.0
