• 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.

Runtime error?

I apologize in advance if this has been covered somewhere already (Or is in the manual I have not finished yet) but when I try to run the checker, I get a bunch of res sections then a 'Runtime error 52' and it says bad or missing file below it....

....also, I tried to modify an afcad from a scenery I had installed, and when I went to compile it gave me a parse error and won't compile it.....I guess I will shelve it until i am done reading the whole manual :o
 
I guess we need a little more info.

What version of ADE? A screen shot of the error might help. Make sure you have .net 3.5, andyour FS and SDK versions match.

When you work on someone elses scenery. It seems to work best if you open the scenery, save it as an ADE file, close ADE, reopen and open and work with the ADE file. Some times ADE may not work well with 3rd party scenery. Depends on what tool it was built with.

I'm running the new version...ade9x 1.45. I didn't know i needed an SDK....where do I obtain that? And yes, Bob, I do have the .net framework 3.5.....it simply won't let me run the checker at all...:confused:
 
Here is a copy of the compiler error:

Parse complete!
 
This is a problem with the environment checker and not ADE I think. The environment checker needs some additional components and it looks like they are not present on the user computer.

I thought that somewhere in the documentation or installer but I may be wrong. Hopefully Martin will see this and chip in.
 
...And I still can't run the 'checker'...screen shows up and immediately throws an error 52 and closes the checker.....
 
Well gentlemen...it seems as though all of the files listed as prerequisites are in fact present....but still no joy on getting it to run properly....:confused:
 
Can we please be clear here - are you talking about not being able to run ADE or the checker? ADE would not throw the error you describe but the checker could.

What you have shown as an ADE is a compiler error with duplicate starts. Go to the Fault Finder. It will find things like duplicate runway starts. This means you have two starts for the same runway number and you can't have that - the compile fails as you have seen
 
Just to be clear, you must be using the Deluxe or Gold version of FSX. The SDK from the disc must be installed. Then, FSX sp1 and sp2( if you use them). Then SDK updates to match your FSX updates.

Ok Jon that worked!! :) I still cannot run the checker, though. I appreciate the help very much.
Click to expand...

Well since ADE is working I would not be too concerned. I am sure Martin will comment when he sees this thread.
 
Thanks, Jon. Yes it seems to be working ok, and i REALLY appreciate all of the help from you guys! I can't wait to really dig into this program and learn its possibilities...
 
It normally should be the other way round - ADE not running and the Checker coming in as the glorious knight ;)

This is the first report of such an error. Runtime error 52 is usually a 'file not found' error. I understand that this error happens during program load and that you don't even see the interface. As far as I know I don't do any file operation at this time :rolleyes:

So it surely sounds like a component is missing. May I ask you to please post screen shots of any error message you are getting?

Thank you!
 
Here's a screen. Sorry for interrupting. Just to say that this is not-so-uncommon problem:D

and after pushing "OK" the Checker shuts down immediately:confused:
 
Another one :eek:

Please check your message inbox, odd_waves. I would like to misuse you as a beta tester if you don't mind :D
 
felixthreeone, odd_waves, are you able to run the AI-Aircraft Editor or does that crash on you as well?
 
Hi all! First many thanks to the developers for what looks like a really brilliant program.

I am having the same problem with the ADE Environment Checker as felixthreeone. I have just installed ADE9X 1.45 and then the updated v1.46. That appears to run just fine, although I have not had time yet to really use it. The AI Editor also works. I am running FS9 only and I get the identical error message with the ADE Envirnoment Checker Runtime error '52'.

Just thought I would post so felixthreeone knows he is not alone!

Nigel
 
Thank you, Nigel! This seems to be a more common problem then :o

It has never been reported before, and I hope that I have a fix available soon. odd_waves, you have a mail ;)
