• 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.

Since you are using ADE

Did you start with a stock airport or with a project from a previous version or so other addon

If you did not start with a stock airport then did you load the v5 stock data into the project? Tools > Load Stock Data

Why are you using exclusion rectangles - if you did the above then ADE will take care of excluding stock. What you need to do is select those stock objects and delete them. Overlapping exclusions are known to cancel each other out.

If this is a stock airport then please tell me what airport. If not then attach the project file to a post. LM made major changes to the number , type and placement of scenery objects in v5.

If you are not using the latest version of ADE 1.79.7422 then please update.

It might be better to ask ADE related questions in the ADE forum to get a quicker response.

There is no v5 bug that I am aware of here other than their scattering of stock objects all over the place ;)

My first test is to remove stock objects from the stock airport in ADE at LIPR. Make sure you are using ADE 1.79.7422
  • Load LIPR
  • Go to Lists > Scenery Objects and sort by Is Stock
  • Select all those where Is Stock = true and use the delete key to delete them from the airport
  • Compile the airport and place the created bgl file in an active scenery folder in v5
  • Check for the presence of scenery

  • As a check - shut down v5, remove the created bgl file and check the airport again

I can test further but my finding loading a stock airport (LIPR) into ADE, removing stock data and loading the compiled result into v5 removes the stock data from the sim.

If you want to take this further let me know and I will move this thread into the ADE forum. There are a number of reasons going from v4 projects to v5 projects that can cause problems Also please attach your project file (.ad4) for the airport you have problems with. It is better we have the project file rather than the compiled bgl file.

I add this :

This is the Lists View with stuff selected and the Delete Button Below is the ADE display after the objects are removed

I have repeated this test for LIPQ, LIPR, LIPZ, Milan and Verona and in each case I can exclude the default (stock) scenery objects and buildings. I do not think there is an issue in doing this or a bug in v5.

And when you compile the stock airport in which folder do you put it in ? Scenery 602 with the name of the deault airport and overwite the stock airport or another location ?

Absolutely do not over write a stock file or place a bgl file into a stock folder.

I know that P3D has a xml based addon system which they prefer for us to use, However for testing I keep it simple and old fashioned. I create and activate the old Addon Scenery\scenery folder and place test bgl files there.

Can I ask how familiar you are with ADE?

@scruffyduck I have the very same problem. Trying to remove the default buildings from a v4 scenery (SBRP)... no success. I tried everything I could and I'm out of ideas now. The only solution I could think of, was to remove default files from \Prepar3D v5\Scenery\0404\scenery: in this case APX35390.bgl. Problem is that I lose all airports around SBRP. The micro excludes that should be happening... is not happening at all.

This is how v5 loads the airport. At every custom building... there is a default one over it.

And this is how it appears, when I remove the APX35390.bgl...

I send the project hoping you can discover what is happening. Tell me if you need extra files.
ADE version: 1.79.7475
P3Dv5: HF2
Prepar3D v5 SDK 5.0.31.35253

Thank you very much.
