• 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.

1.53.4788 is the latest 'beta' version of ADE. It primarily fixes bugs found in the previous betas and a number of bugs found in the production versions.

We think this is now close to a production release and we will not be making any changes to it other than fixing bugs reported in beta versions.

This version is available from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vd4obd0mnaotyey

Changes since 1.52.4710:

Version 01.53

New
  • [10264] A warning box is now displayed on start up where the image complexity setting in ADE is not set to Extremely Dense. The user has the option to ignore the message in future.
  • [10273] ADE will now stop users from compiling to a stock airport file in a stock folder. A warning is issued and the compile cancelled
Updated
  • [10152] Flags for scenery objects are now accessible as check boxes in the property dialog. [-BETA ISSUE-]
  • [10338] Added additional information to Exclusion Rectangle Tooltip
  • [10254] The upper limit of 5 for the Library Object Scale property has been removed
Fixed
  • [10184] Invalid Parameter CTD when editing a taxi path
  • [10333] CTD when saving a taxipath where there is no valid taxi designator available [-BETA BUG-]
  • [10336] The Add menu options for Beacons and Effects no longer appear in Approach Mode
  • [10193] CTD when loading effect where no effect files are loaded
  • [10291] CTD when using copy/paste on a runway. This results in an empty property dialog being displayed followed by the CTD when the Save button is clicked [-BETA BUG-]
  • [10182] Invalid Parameter CTD when editing multiple taxi paths
  • [10334] Fixed a number of issues with Exclusion Rectangles including a Red Flag in the Issue Manager, and tendency to move when using grab handle resize. [-BETA BUG-]
  • [10255] Slow dragging of aprons and other vertex based objects [-BETA BUG-]
  • [10278] Newly added terminal waypoints should now show up in Approach Mode [-BETA BUG-]
  • [10176] CTD when double clicking an entry in a List.
  • [10258] CTD with Fault Finder when fault is a duplicate runway [-BETA BUG-]
  • [10160] CTD when selecting parking spot placement mode.
  • [10195] CTD when using the Undo button.
  • [10171] CTD when selecting an apron. This bug has only been reported in version 1.50.18.197 and not in any later versions
  • [10168] CTD when trying to load approach code from an XML file. This is caused when ADE fails to detect that the XML file is not properly formed and does not contain the FSData and/or Airport Tags
  • [10187] CTD when attempting to select a library object. This bug has been reported only in version 1.50.18.197
  • [10170] CTD when drawing runway.
  • [10161] CTD when drawing Background Image.
  • [10238] CTD caused when pressing the A key where no project is loaded or where ADE is not connected to FS [-BETA BUG-]
  • [10157] CTD with Fault Finder
  • [10263] Algorithm to assign taxi signs to stock airport modified to deal with LOWG where signs are not found with the old algorithm
  • [10262] CTD when ProKey user presses the D key with no project loaded
  • [10166] Latitude parsing CTD when latitude is only a single character.
  • [10256] Terrain Polys should no longer appear on project load if they are set to be hidden in the view menu.
  • [10190] Invalid cast CTD when at the start of dragging a new taxi path [-BETA BUG-]

No other bugs or features are dealt with in this version.

Please note that if you are a ProKey user then the installer no longer installs a ProKey. If you have a previous beta installed then the ProKey should still be there. However if this is your first beta installation or you do not see the ProKey features after install then please copy the file ProKey.dll into the beta Plugins folder.

As usual your feedback on this release is much appreciated.

Hi Jon,

Not sure if its me again, but if I add a background image and send it to front, and then try to send it to back, the objects underneath do not show, even though they are clickable. The image remains on top but the objects (runways etc) ate actually there, just not drawn.

Fixed in the release version. However if you replace the layers.dat file in the Beta installation with the one in the attached zip it should now work.

Hi Jon,

Not sure where to post this and didn't want to detract from the new release. When selecting alternate runway markings, these are not displayed in ADE (however they do show up in FSX once compiled). Nothing major, but one for the list.

All the best,

Ben.
