• 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.

Touchdown Markings

Help here would be appriciated...

I want to remove the runway touchdown markings of a runway, so I go to the runway options and uncheck 'touchdown' under the markings tab. I save, compile, and load the airport, and the markings are still there. This continues after multiple times trying this....Is there something here I don't know about that prevents me from getting rid of these markings? Thanks, Ferrari
 
I have not had any problems removing the touchdown marks (last checkmark, left column).

Sometimes FSX will not update the textures so we have to shock the sim.

When you save the airport that will give you a new .ade file. Do Not compile but close ADE and then open the save .ade file. Now compile into a bgl and see if the marks are gone from the runway.
 
Uncheck all check marks in Markings. Save and compile to see if the runway looses all markings.

Start adding back a checkmark at a time and compile. The touchdown marks may be tied to one of the other checkmarks in FSX. I have not tested just the touchdown marks but in some cases certain markings will not go away with a single checkmark and can be tied to another checkmark.
 
Jim is correct - this appears to be something to do with the way FSX handles these options.

To remove touchdown markings it seems necessary to uncheck the Touchdown, Fixed Distance and Precision options.

This is not related to ADE. As far as I can tell it processes user options into xml that are compiled correctly. Tests with other utilities give the same results.

I seem to recall this came up in the early days of FSX. We will do some more checking and if we can confirm interlinks we will look at updating how ADE behaves.
