• 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 v6 Kaneohe Bay

I am trying to build an AFCAD file for the Marine base using the default file but for some reason it will not show the parking spots when I load the MCAS.
 
Please specify at the top of your opening post in new threads you start, which version of FS your thread pertains to.

That will tell us what we need to know to index this for the forum knowledge base, and to help you.

It will also tell us how to find the exact default airport BGL for the (FS Version ?) you are referring to.


Regarding your question above, which FS utility are you using to do this:

AFCAD version-1, AFCAD2, or ADE ? :scratchch

Sorry. My brain does not work so well no a days. I am using ADE on P3D v6. I have included photos of what I am referring to. Photo on the right shows my AFCAD on ADE, yet the photo on the left shows no parked aircraft.

To help FSDev index, and forum participants to follow- and perhaps contribute posts to- your thread(s), it will be important for you to:


* Please state which version of FS this thread pertains to; edit your first post (aka "Opening Post" aka "OP") to insert this info.


Choose a FS version that is the subject of a thread by clicking the 'down arrow' next to "(No prefix)" ...when starting a new thread. :pushpin:

Based on your statement above, you are using P3D v6, so you should edit your opening post above and enter P3D v6 in the pick-list.

This may help you attract forum respondents who have P3D and use it with ADE (AFAIK, very few have P3Dv5 and even less have P3Dv6).

ADE was not tested with P3Dv6, and was not reportedly tested extensively with P3Dv5 before development was discontinued, so YMMV.

[EDITED]

IIUC, your ADE "Map" view orientation is rotated within ADE's workspace; AFAIK, we can rotate an entire airport, or just the view. :redflag:

If that is done incorrectly, the Geographic coordinates of PHNG may have changed, and the airport is now going to be incorrectly positioned in the P3D run time world.

Rotating the view with < Ctrl >+< MouseWheel > is a completely separate function from rotating an entire Airport in XML source code.


But it possible you did intent to only rotate the view, and not the entire airport in it XML source code; if so, please ignore my alert above.

[END_EDIT]


Regarding parked aircraft:

* Did you add some static Scenery Library Objects that you expected to see after compiling the project?

* Were you anticipating seeing some parked aircraft via default or custom 3rd party AI Traffic ?


BTW: Be certain every Parking space you place is connected to the taxi system via 'links': CTDs and/or P3D.Cfg file damage may result.


The ADE downloads page has a link to last PDF format Manual (for version 1.65, but deals with nearly all basic features of ADE) ...here:

Unless you’ve added it, P3D does not include AI flights for military airbases. Even if you add parking spots, aircraft will not magically appear. Perhaps MAIW has an addon for that airport?
