• 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.

Hidden Objects?

Hi: I'm new here, so I hope this is not a dumb question...I am having problems seeing some of the objects I add in ADE...Here's what I mean...If I add, for example, a helicopter to a helipad, on the ADE screen the helicopter is not visible...Is it somehow hidden under the helipad? The same seems to be true if I add a plane on a parking spot...Is it hidden under the parking spot? All of these objects do show up in FSX in the compiled BGL file, but it is making it difficult for me to go back, look at the ADE screen and see what objects I have placed and make fine adjustments...Hope this question is clear enough, and thanks for the help!

Welcome and not a dumb question at all :) It relates to the drawing order in ADE. To deal with it:

Select the parking spot or helipad, Right Click and select Move to Back - this will bring the 'hidden object' to the front by moving the parking spot etc down the drawing order.

There are a lot of drawing layers in ADE but some objects end up in the same layer. At the moment ADE will not remember the changed drawing order after you close and re-open the airport. This is something that will be fixed and is on the work list.
 
That Did It

Your advice fixed the problem...Thanks for the help and for a great program...
