• 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.

Pesky airport compile error

I hate posting this request for help but I'm running out of solutions to try out so I need help.

It's been a long time since I have been in FS. Last night I happened to modify a stock airport KRWI.
Started ADE 1.4, modified airport, saved, compiled and got the following error:
Compiler Errors Found. These were not identified by the Issue Manager. Please let us know
what the compiler error is so that we can improve the Issue Manager.
The compiler message is shown below
ScruffyDuck Scenery Design Engine Compiling
Using BglComp....
INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR C1003: Failed to create MSXML object! (0x80040154)
Parsing document: E:\Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\Misc Airports\NC\KRWI Rocky Mount\scenery\KRWI_ADE9_PS.xml
ERROR C2470: Unrecoverable error parsing XML!
ERROR C2006: Parse failed (0x80004005)
ERROR C2003: Failed to process file: E:\Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\Misc Airports\NC\KRWI Rocky Mount\scenery\KRWI_ADE9_PS.xml

Using Win7 64-bit
  • I then installed ADE 1.61 and got the same problem
  • Searched the forum for a solution
  • Downloaded and installed MSXML v3
  • Uninstalled MSXML v2 & v3 & service packs (from control panel)
  • Reinstalled MSXML v3, noticed the "Custom" button is now grayed out so I suppose it's installing the SDK as well
  • Tried compiling to root of E: drive with short name (Test.bgl)
  • Changed compile option to Keep XML file, which of course never got created
  • Tried a compile in Scenery Builder that didn't work either
Obviously a problem with the XML file not being created.
Help please...thanks

Thanks Jim,
Problem solved, I had indeed forgotten about the whole SDK nightmare.
I added a complementary entry to the thread you pointed out.
 
Now Jim, one more question if you don't mind.
What is the ADE current version?
I see references to 1.65 but can't find the installation set.
 
1.65 is the the next current version. I know that sounds daft but we are releasing it slowly and are still doing some documentation. It is stable and seems to work fine for most people. This thread has links etc
