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.
ADE P4 v.01.75.6421 with P3D V4 UNABLE TO OPEN STOCK AIRPORT LIMN
- Thread starter Draken
- Start date
P3D v4.4.16.27077 here. LIMN opens without troubles at my side, using ADE v01.76.6715. You should possibly update ADE to latest version.
Checking the path of your P3D4, it looks as it is installed inside one of the standard Microsoft Program folders that are heavily controlled by the system about read and write rights by the user. Suggest you check your UAC and lower the control level, or manage, next time or next update, to install your flightsimming related softwares (including ADE) outside the Program Files (x86) or Program Files folders.
Just my 2 cents

Hello,
you bet deserve a feedback.
UAC should not represent an issue since ADE is run as administrator (I need to find now a way to run it as standard user, that means skip UAC).
I tell you what I did.
I checked that the ADE installation reads the registry but it appears that doesn't write on it.
So I simply moved its directory outside Windows programs folder and I uninstalled it to clean the installation log.
Then I authorized ADE to make the update.
Now it runs well and I got the airport LIMN.
Happy new year.

Hi, Xoxo,
I would suggest you keep ADE being run as administrator...
At my side, all my flightsim related softwares are outside the MS Program Files, and run as administrator, consequently no troubles with the write or read rights, and I have no troubles so far. I must also say I am the sole user of my PC, so I assume I know what I do with my machine
Caution! ADE is pretty addictive....

Running ADE as admin is a requirement of some of the internal code for 64bit operation so you cannot do anything to change it. And if you did chances are ADE will crash

Hello,
thanks for the warning.
I'm running ADE as administrator.
What I did is simply what shown at: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/193743-elevated-program-shortcut-create-standard-user.html to simplify the launch of ADE when I'm logged as standard user without modifying UAC.
