• 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.

Hello,
I used ADE v1.79.7417.
I opened my old YSSY ADE with it.
Compiled it with the v5 SDK (including an xml)
also saved the Airport as an new file

Prepar3dv4 didn't recognized the ADE (the default one was loaded)

I opened the ProjectFile wit ADE v1.76 (v4 SDK)
compiled it
Prepar3dv4 recognized it

I opened the v5compiled XML File with ADE v1.76
compiled it
Prepar3dv4 recognized it

Any idea? Is an v5 compiled BGL not compatible with v4?

Regards
Urmel

You got it in one. Generally compiled bgl files are not reverse compatible. So I would not expect v5 to work with v4 since there are changes in the bgl contents and structure between the two. v4 may work fine in v5

Ok, Thanks. That means I should use the new ADE v1.79.7417 with the v4 SDK? And only when I want to compile an sloped Airport or an only v5 compatible Airport with the v5 SDK?

You must use the v4 SDK if you have ADE set to run for v4 and the v5 SDK if set for v5. Sloped airports are a small part of v5. If you want to create stuff for v5 use the v5 SDK irrespective of whether you are working on a sloped airport or not

Ok, FlyTampa Sydney is an quite old airport with no v5 features. Does it benefit from an special v5 compile or is an v4 compile enough?

I have no idea - you need to try try things on a case by case basis.
