• 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 Missing Taxiways

I updated an AFCAD for EGLC London City Airport from current charts because it was from 2009. All looked great in Airport Design Editor up to date version. When I open it up in Prepar3D V4.5 though half of the taxiways are missing as you can see in the photo below. I looked online and a thread from 2015 said to reset the drawing layers in ADEx after you open up the bgl. I did that but it didn't solve the problem. Can anyone explain what is happening and how to fix it? Thanks

I may have discovered the problem and will know when I have more time to check it out. My earlier airports I created with the previous versions of Airport Design Editor have no missing taxiway problems BUT it seems that the last couple of airports created with the current version of Airport Design Editor Version 1.79.7475. Also, these latest airports have been created and compiled for Prepar3D V4.4 with ADEx and the airports I checked from earlier versions were created and compiled for FSX and work fine. Those are my observations. Let me know your thoughts.
 
Right now, I am running ADEx V1.76 which I installed but kept the V1.79. I discovered that the "Hold Short" nodes were making the portion below them disappear so after I deleted all the Hold Short nodes, the taxiways are now complete. I now have to go back in tomorrow with the Airport Chart and relabel them properly. Then I will be sure that the taxiway signs are correct and where they should be because since 2009 a lot more were added T1-T9 and I will need to create the signs for them. Then I will add Hold Short using the Ground Poly since I do not intend to have any AI aircraft and they actually are the ones I discovered in the past who NEED the Hold Short nodes to properly taxi and takeoff. I am going to consult exact placement in Google Earth for them. Problem solved. I will probably reinstall V1.79 tomorrow as well. Good night all.
