• 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.

P3D v5 Cannot Save nor Edit Approaches

Hello,

Using the latest dev release of ADE I just wanted to import the approaches of the stock airport in order to use them in my modified AFCAD. I imported the approaches but then it was impossible to edit these approaches. Also when saving my file all the imported approaches have disappeared ... Weird. Does anyone have an explanation ? I joined the message I get when trying to edit an aproach if that can help. Thanks in advance

I have to say that the above issue is for GPS approaches only, all the other types are editable
 
not sure to understand your question but what I did is (once my AFCAD was created) : 1/import navaids and approaches from the stock airport 2/save my AFCAD 3/switch to approach mode 4/try to edit some approaches.

The above works except for the GPS approaches and some ILS approaches as well (see the error message attached)
 
Tom is asking - if you load the stock airport into ADE and go into Approach mode can you edit the approaches which you cannot.

What version of ADE are you using - make sure it is the latest since we caught some changes to approach code mid way.

What airport is this? Can you provide the ADE project file which you imported approaches into please (upload to a post here)
 
Ok sorry, so:

- if I load the stock airport into ADE I cannot edit the approach if it is a GPS one or an ILS one. The other ones (localizer, Airnav) are editable with no problem
- my ADE version is the latest dev one v01.79.7475
- the airport I am working on is LFKC (attached is my ADE file)
- I noticed that when I save my ADE I sometimes loose some waypoints that I just imported

That's the bgl file I am asking for the ADE project file (.ad4 extension). However if you are referring to these sort of approaches

They are SID/STAR and we have an ongoing issue with them and ADE.

I am not sure why you need to edit SID/STAR since if they are standard as far as I know (which isn't much)
 
No worries - apparently LM have done some 'dodgy' fix to make GPS approaches look like SID/STAR. They have been around since v3 but this time they decided to flood the airport data with automatically generated stuff. It's a bit low on my list at the moment to be honest
 
thanks Jon, FYI what I am trying to implement is an ILS approach which is a curve one and see whether the AI aircraft can follow it or not. It is a little bit what Jim Vile had done in the past with LOWI and other approaches where AI aircraft where going through the mountains etc...
 
thanks to the team for the support. I finally managed to write this curved approach after having understood all the tricks (as well as the does and don't).
It works for some AI and I will test more but as said it depends mostly on their FDE
