• 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.

P3D v4 How to save minor modification to gates of add-on airport ?

I just installed JustSim's LMML. Now I want to change the gate type for the gates by the terminal, using ADE V1.78 (patched to 64 bit). I have opened the AFX_LMML.bgl file and made the changes. But how do I now save the changed .bgl file so that P3DV4 will use it ? Sorry if this is a basic question, but I use ADE only occasionally and could not find the answer in the help files.
Thanks,
Emile.

File > Compile to create a new bgl file with your changes.

Go to the scenery folder in P3D that you placed the original

Remove the existing (original) bgl file to a safe place and replace it with your modified one

Start the sim and see if your changes worked. They may not depending on what is in the original bgl file

Sorry for my ignorance, but I now have a further question :
How do I add a new Name to the Parking List that can be selected in addition to the ones already there ? Reason is I'd like to change the name of the parking spots by the terminal building from their current one.

Thanks,
Emile.

As I recall here is no way to set names other than the ones provided.
