• 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.

Error opening xml

Greetings,
I have started editing an existing fsx airport. I have saved the xml to work on at a later time. When I tried to open the xml file I got the following error message:
The reference entity "Transition" must end with the ";" delimiter.

What does this mean? I have attached the .xml file.

Thanks,
Chad

In line 12 of your XML you have an invalid situation

Code:

You have an ampersand in the name. This has a special meaning in XML. Change it or remove it. You have the same problem in a couple of your Coms:


Code:
001811  			frequency="123.0"
001812  			type="CTAF"
[B]001813  			name="DADE-COLLIER TRNG&TRANS"/>[/B]001814  		<Com <<<<
001815  			frequency="123.0"
001816  			type="UNICOM"
[B]001817  			name="DADE-COLLIER TRNG&TRANS"/>[/B]
001818  		<Com

You also have a string of errors associated with taxi links to parking spots:

Code:
ScruffyDuck Scenery Design Engine Compiling
Using ANY BglComp....

Parsing document: D:\downloads\Tree Top Hub KTNT.xml

INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR:  #C2589: Did not find end Parking Spot #0 needed for Taxi path #4 at airport KTRE.

A Bgl file is created after that but I do not know what got left out and it may not be what you designed
