FSX Compiling Error - Not Identified by the Issue Manager

[Bob Domine]

I am new to using ADE, though involved regularly with Flight Sim since the 80s.

This is so excellent!! I had in the distant past without any real success tried to use FSX Planner. So a big thanks to all of you ahead of time for making these tools possible. I will be glad to help as my experience grows.

I have downloaded the excellent manual and have the SDK installed successfully with each step thru Acceleration's provision for that.

With a few challenges conquered, I have no problem getting the stock airport that I wish to edit KSUN with a green "no issues found" on the lower left and no fault shown in the Fault Finder. However, with a simple edit of moving a windsock a few feet, I can not Compile. I get the following error script. Can anyone guide me to a next step? I have abbreviated it as directed by the too long post message. Hopefully what I have included will be clear.

Again, Thanks ahead of time for your help.

This the error message that I get:


Compiler Errors Found. These were not identified by the Issue Manager. Please let us know

what the compiler error is so that we can improve the Issue Manager.


The compiler message is shown below:

How did you start this project? The problems are all with generic buildings and library objects. The errors are not something that you can get using ADE in the normal way. So it seems possible that they were introduced in whatever you started with. It would help us if you attach the project file (.ad4 extension) to a post in this thread so we can take a look at it. Also attach the source file if you started other than from a stock airport.

Thanks very much for your reply. I started by opening the stock airport KSUN (which needs a lot of work to modify to current real world), moved one of the wind socks a short distance as a test and then used Save Airport As. I then attempted to compile with the results you observed. Attached is the project file.

When first starting not knowing what I did not know, I tried to compile without completely installing the SDK. I have since done that before saving this project. Also another program that I suspect may be a problem is a payware called "Airport Wizard." It is a program that "improves" airport taxiways by adding viewable/realistic looking taxiway lights and smooths the taxiway curves. I believe using bezier curve fitting. I had removed those improvements before doing this work and project save but not sure it did not leave something behind.

Also, in attempting to help myself, I moved two files (I did not delete them) that showed in the Generic Building Manager but had no images called easterbody_test.dds and easterbody_test2.dds. I am not sure where they came from but that was likely not the right thing to do.

As I am new to this, I am fine to uninstall ADE and reinstall it or clear any of my work to date if that is helpful.

Again, thanks for this program and support of it. I am very much looking forward to using it.

Which bglcomp are you using?

It compiles here using that from FSXA.

This is the object it is showing in your error list:

 

[scruffyduck]

Looking again at the errors this definitely looks like an attempt to compile FSX code with the FS9 Compiler

Thank You! Not sure what that is or how it got there but I removed it and still have the compile error. I'll keep going.

Thank You! If that is what is causing the errors, is the best solution to uninstall and do a clean reinstall? I sure appreciate your support!

 

[scruffyduck]

please send me the log: https://scruffyduck.screenstepslive...8/l/199769-how-do-i-send-you-the-ade-log-file I need to take a look at your installation information before offering further advice

Thank You! Attached is the Log.tx1 and Log_01.tx1 compressed into FSX.RAR and then renamed FSX.txt necessary to attach it. The logs only show in the FSX folder. There are none in the FS9, P3D nor P32. I appreciate your help.

You are definitely using the wrong compiler and the wrong compiler paths.

FsxCompilerPath=C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\Airport Design Editor 165\FS9
FsxShp2VecPath=C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools\Airport Design Editor 165

You are pointing ADE to the FS9 folder where there is a compiler but it is the wrong one and is giving the errors
You have not set the path to the Shp2Vec compiler at all - it is still pointing to your ADE installation folder

Before we do anything else you say you have installed the SDK - can you confirm that please and which folder you installed it to

 

[Bob Domine]

Yes, I have installed SDK, completing the installations with the Acceleration version. This is the path I show Flight Simulator X SDK in: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK. I did not change from the defaults directories as I went thru the installation programs. Sorry for the trouble on this and again, Thanks for your help.

 

[Bob Domine]

Looking further, I have the SDX folder in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK directory. I am confused on the wrong compiler paths. I show different in the "New User Wizard." - Screen shot JPG attached. It looks to me like some of my earlier installation flubs did not clear. Thanks Again.

 

[scruffyduck]

• Make sure ADE is not running
• Go to the FSX folder inside the main folder
• Find the file called Settings.ini and delete it
• Find the file called bglcomp.exe and delete it - make sure it is the .exe file and NOT the .xsd file that you delete. Leave bglcomp.xsd alone
• Start ADE and the New User Wizard should appear - go through this and use the Find button on the folders page to set the paths to FSX and the compilers.
• When you have finished close ADE and restart it. Hopefully this will get ADE to use the correct compilers

 

[Bob Domine]

Thank You!!!!!!!!! That worked!!!!!!!!!! I made 2 adjustments to the same stock airport, (KSUN) and that compiled fine. My apologies for the false start and mucking up the works. I appreciate you and this forum's members as well as the manual. Now to go to work.

 

[scruffyduck]

You are welcome
