Airport Objects not showing up on FSX-SE but Show up on P3D

[idude]

I'm trying to create my first airport with ADE (free version) but the airport objects are not showing up with FSXSE but they show up on P3Dv3 on my other computer. The SDK installed is from the boxed edition of FSX. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

If you are placing those objects using the Library Object Manager. the relevant library BGL files must be placed into an *active* scenery folder in FSX.

Or, if those objects are in native P3D format they will not appear in FSX.

Or, if those are stock P3D objects and the same objects (if present) in FSX have different GUID values they will not appear.

I'm building everything on the computer that has FSXSE installed so it shouldn't be in P3D native.

How do you copy these to the active folder?

If you are using an object that is not default (i.e not already included) then you added it to the LOM. If you did that, then you should know where the BGL file is.

The tower at least looks like a default object, so that shouldn't have needed to be added to the LOM, it was probably there already? If so, it is already present in FS and is another problem.

There is a great deal of difference between the two images, aside from building placement. The autogen and background ground are different, as well. Even the runway and taxiway surfaces are different. It is more accurate to say the only things the two images share is the approximate location of pavement. Except for one scenario I can think of, these discrepancies far surpass the discrepancy between FSX:SE and P3Dv3, to the point that a shared understanding of the situation is woefully lacking. This is to say, the evidence that one works in P3D and not in FSX, is as pertinent as to say one works in the blue computer and not the red, when you compare the difference between simulators, to the difference between those two scenes. The one unique scenario would be, that you compiled for P3Dv3. This would explain, to me, the default status of pavement polys and complete lack of everything else.
FYI, this is not a simple consequence of building model file locations or texture paths, there are fundamental differences between the scenes that, to me, imply, perhaps; mismatched sequential edits, unknown scenery excludes, non default libraries and these are just a very few of the myriad situations that could lead to this sort of condition, the conclusion being there isn't enough information to even hazard a guess. It would be better if you shared your files, or went into more detail about procedure.

I've read somewhere here that FSXSE doesn't come with SDK and that you could use P3Dv1.4 SDK instead to compile that's what I used when I started adding objects and they didn't show up I installed FSX SDK from the boxed version. To check if it make any difference and it didn't.

The scenery appears to work as intended in FSX:SE, you'll need to check your scenery density settings. It is important to note, that the runway textures are different between my FSX:SE screen shot and the one you posted. Runway textures are not affected by scenery density settings. This implies additional issues, for which there is too little information to dissect.

This issue has been solved! Copied the bgl file airport_objects.bgl into this scenery folder and every object appeared including those that came from a different bgl file than the one copied. After this, I shut down FSX and removed the airport_objects.bgl file from the scenery to test if the objects would vanish or stay and they ended staying and had no more problems adding more objects. I have no idea as to why it behaved like this.
