• 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 did not handle the reading and writing of Xml correctly. This does not matter if you only work with the Bgl Format and do not save your airport in Xml format between sessions. In that case taxiway elements were not handled correctly. This was partly due to some broken indexing code and partly that ADE sometimes 'lost the address' of taxiway elements and therefore could not delete them :o

There was also a more subtle error when adding a taxipoint in the middle of a parking link. ADE works by splitting the link into two and assigning the properties of the original link to the new one. This is fine until you put a point in a PARKING link. The result is a link that has the type PARKING but taxiway points at either end and this is not a happy situation. ADE will now change the type of the new link to PATH.

Version 0.36 is released via the online updater and should fix these problems. I have tested it here and it seems OK now but I can't be 100% sure so please test this especially if you do want to save and load your work in Xml rather than Bgl

Hi John

Thanks for your great program, still trying a lot. I only found a problem with the last build, I'm not able to connect a taxi (parking) link with a gate anymore, it just doesn't connect.

Are you joining a taxipoint to a parking space?

Any links to parking spaces must be made from a taxipoint to a parking space and not the other way round. It is working here I just tried it :)

Drat!

I do not have ADE here to download.

So there is no standalone download?

How big is the update. I only have dial-up at home.

The full download is version 0.31 and it's link is given in a sticky in this forum. After that using the check for updates function will allow you to get the updates. They are not usually very big. The last ADE updater is 67k and SDE is 119k
