• 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.

Thanks to help from Jim Vile I have realized that ADE is passing through information from the airport record that I had not planned to pass through. This is especially true of Approach Data. Because ADE does not process this data the deleteRecord for Approaches is set to False. As a result you will get two sets of Approach data for an airport modified by ADE. The default set and the same set passed unseen by ADE. This is not what is intended and has all sorts of unwanted side effects such as seeing the approaches twice in the GPS. This just underlines my concern over how easy it is to get things screwed up.

This is just a warning of what is happening, although I would hope that no one is using ADE in a 'production mode' since it is really still in the middle of the development cycle.

Having said that the next build of ADE will remove all Approach data from any files loaded into it. It will also do the same with Terminal Waypoints.

I plan at a later stage to develop a 'safe' visual tool for Approach Design (assuming that Jim and others will save me from my own ignorance when required :) ) But I do not think it right to retain this in ADE.

If you feel that I am wrong then please let me know !
