• 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.

Hi there, I'm struggling with building packages. I've tried with multiple different airports and its always a similar outcome - it always seems to have some failures and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm using ADE 18 in Steam. Here's the latest example, trying to make some changes to Heathrow.

Thanks

Well you have duplicate parking so you need to clear them. Use Lists > Parking and sort it on name and number to find the duplicates. Did you load this from stock because there appear to be other errors with parking spots
 
Yes, this is the stock airport. I've checked, there are similar numbers, for example there's several that use 1, 2 etc but they have GATE A 1, GATE E 1 etc
 
Well please read the error message. For example this is one that appears duplicated

Each line you find like that is an indicator that the compile failed and the parking reference
 
Thanks, sorry now reading it properly and kind of understanding it. I've fixed that but still getting the failed message below - seems to be the Manifest and Layout folder, I'm assuming I have to add those manually?

Unless you have models and materials then make sure that they are unchecked in the Project porperties

It's a bug in ADE that passes empty date to the build tool. I will get to fixing it!
