• 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.

I have been working on my airport, highly unrealistic. Just for fun. I got a new computer and for some reason now Auto generated Scenery still shows up in the middle of the airport when on my old computer it had not. I have attached it. Can anyone help me?

You have a background poly to flatten and exclude - however are you copying the _CVX.Bgl file that ADE generates into the same folder as the airport Bgl file? Assuming you are running ADE 1.50 you should also check the Issue Manager (Red Button near bottom right) as there seem to be a number of duplicate waypoints perhaps caused by adding a User ILS on the same runway more than once?

How do I get the CVX.bgl?
Click to expand...

you get a CVX bgl whenever you use a Terrain Polygon,
it then happens when you compile your ad2 file so you will get an airport bgl and a CVX bgl,
both files then go into the Addon Scenery/scenery folder,
you also need to make sure you do not have any other terrain addons for this area as it will cause a conflict
 
I was able to get the CVX file. Thanks. Now in the middle of the airport, there are like some huge valleys that cut off in between the runways like in the attached pictures. I have also attached the airport file. Does anyone know what is wrong?

I'm guessing there are no altitudes assigned to each of the the points in the CVX file (they assume altitude zero AMSL)

They might just need edting to the same altitude as the airport.
 
OK let's try and keep this simple. When ADE creates an airport background poly it will use the reference altitude of the airport. If you do have it set wrongly then for a flatten you need to have all the points set to the reference altitude. I guess you know what the airport altitude is that you set. It seems to be 1239 feet. Now select the airport background poly and hit Enter. If you are using the file you posted then you will find that the altitude of the flatten is at zero feet. So change that value to 1239 and save the changes. Now try to compile and see what you get.
 
Thanks, Jon. It worked. Now on my "D" gates, only some of the jetways show up. They are all on normal. The only gates that show up are D102-D129 and D1-D26. Any thoughts why the rest (D27-D101) aren't showing up?

do you have any airport vehicles where the jetways are, and have you moved the jetways at all, as there maybe an exclusion for the vehicle and that could be now excluding the jetway
 
The reason these gates are not showing up is because you have two exclusions in this area,
click on Menu/View/Exclusions tick the box and you will see them, delete these and the jetways will appear
what are the exclusions for?
