• 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 have just reinstalled my ADE on my new laptop, and I keep getting this error message when I'm opening a stock airport.

Anything I'm missing?

Hi Bobby:

Your error may be related to the ADE feature which by default scans and creates a 2D footprint thumbnail for Generic Buildings that has been a part of ADE since version 1.7x was released.

Although IIRC ADE typically includes all files it needs to run its core feature set, the footprint thumbnail creation feature (provided as an external plugin by Arno), may have a dependency on a DOT NET 2.0 run time version and/or MSXML may not yet be installed in your version of Windows.

http://www.scruffyduck.org.uk/ade_h...AEAAAAAAEAEAAAAwHVFVVAQFQFAQAQAAAAEABAAAAAAAA

Also, if you have not yet separately downloaded and installed the footprint thumbnail package from the Scruffyduck download website, you should do so now, as it is not included with the ADE install package, and it will speed up loading most stock- and some addon- airports.

Note as well that you need to install the FS SDK versions and FSUIPC versions for any/all versions of FS that you plan to output airport BGLs for.

I hope I have not overlooked anything else, and that this info might get you up and running.

Otherwise, you might see additional recommendations here by other frequent ADE users before Scruffyduck replies, as AFAIK he is traveling at this time. ;-)
