i Could not find any additional libraries that are freely available using google search. I would be helpful if you could include those links in the description. You mentioned flightsim but which flighsim site are you talking about? There are many.
This has been a good and helpful series. Could you do a similar one showing how to set up ADE on a PC from scratch. I'm eager to get started but up to now my attempts at getting it set up have failed. Thanks. John
Hey CountryFlyboy, when i compile everything it fine, but then I add the bgl file in a new folder named 'scenery' which is in another folder called (airport name) then when i add the area no prob, then when i go to the airport, nothing shows, just default? plz help!
Make sure there is another subfolder in your Airport ID folder. there should be 2 one name scenery and one named texture. for some reason it wants both. If that doesn't work then make sure theres no other scenery overriding it. if after that then nothing its probably a compiler issue. you would need to make sure your using the right compiler for your sim. one of thoughs. if after all that is not working then IDK!
Thanks for all the vids I learnt a lot. When I ran it fsx everything looked great, however. No taxi instructions for take off but it does give them when you've landed. Any ideas?
IDK. Sometimes they dont give you specific directions and just tell you to taxi via taxiway. for me it dossn't happen often, usually only when your the only plane on the airport thats moving. if theres no need for you to take a specific path then they dont tell you one
CountryFlyboy it's not right, AI isn't working and atc is wrong. Never mind deleted and restarting the whole thing. It's my first attempt and I've messed it up somehow lol thanks for the reply.
I'm having a problem with the airport compiler... ADE dosen't find shd2vec compiler that is needed to compile the terrain parts of my project like the airport backround and the land class. I'm using fsx steam edition btw... pls help!
its part of the SDK. I dont know if they shipped the SDK with FSX steam but i think you can use one of the P3D SDKs. its in the terrain tools somewhere. The ADE manual can tell you where to find it.
I have now found out that the SDK dosen't come with fsx steam... It say's that I need to download it from the dvd's but since it's fsx steam doesn't come with dvd's I was wondering how I could install it
I know this is an old video but I need a little help. I deleted the Addon scenery folder from the in game steam FSX scenery library. i went and added it back in the fsx root folder but it does not show in the library. how do i get it back or should i uninstall and reinstall. i verified the files with steam and it showed good but still did not appear. thank you
Hey I'm having a similar issue. I haven't added any land classes yet- only exclusions and aprons. I've deleted all of the scenery objects but for some reason all of the default scenery objects are showing up in the sim. The objects which I didn't delete are showing duplicates. So I have the exclusions and aprons but still all of the default scenery objects.. Any ideas?
duplicate scenery most likely. or its possible ADE failed to delete things. if your sure its not duplicate scenery then place an exclusion rectangle over your airport. or individual ones over the offending objects.
When compiling, ade says that it can't find the bgl compiler (I have already selected it) and I don't know what to do! Do you have any idea? And thanks for all the videos too! :)
+Candlelight_Animations not even a scooby. try re-selecting it. and make sure you are in the right location. I think ADE also has a test thing to make sure it will work. Im not at my editing PC right now so i cant see where that function is.
Hey! I have got a trouble when compiling in ADE. When I click compile airport, a window shows up saying: ADE can not find shp2vec compiler. I use FSX steam edition. Which could be the problem? Thanks
The shp2vec compiler is missing. if you have the FSXSDK (i dont think you can get it on the steam version) then you need to point ADE to where that file is. If not then try to find the P3D V1 SDK which i believe works as its the FSX SDK. install it and point ADE to the file.
OMG! You are awesome!! It worked good! I have got some little errors to fix like when I have got a taxyway beside an apron, there are some little triangles that go inside the apron. Thank you a lot!!!
Yeah, after I compile the scenery, everything works fine except for the scenery folder does not appear and therefore I have no photoreal scenery in the sim, which kinda beats the purpose of making it in the first place lol... Thanks in advance!
you may have placed an object or otherwise done something causing it. I've had this happen before, in my case it was an object causing it. make sure your using FSX or FS9 objects, i dont recommend going further back than that. it may also be the BGL file got corrupted somehow. try a recompile and reinstall of your scenery
Only thing I can say is remove your edited airport. You may have placed an object or otherwise done something causing the crash. try to find out what it is and fix it.
I'm making progress. Thanks. I've been watching the Tutorial and following along. I've got a pretty decent KVDI for P3D v4.5 working.

I got most of my libraries from flightsim.com and simviation.com

Did you ever get it to work?
Question. How do you find or make Thumbnails for objects that don't have them?

Excellent set of tutorials.
Can someone indicate how the new scenario is inserted in P3D?

look for one of the P3D SDKs. V1.1 i think. its the same as the FSX SDK

What's the path to where it is now?

duplicate scenery most likely. or its possible ADE failed to delete things. if your sure its not duplicate scenery then place an exclusion rectangle over your airport. or individual ones over the offending objects.
If i just want to edit a holding point at a default airport how do I save that?
When compiling, ade says that it can't find the bgl compiler (I have already selected it) and I don't know what to do! Do you have any idea?
And thanks for all the videos too! :)

+CountryFlyboy Ok, thanks! I will try this.

What is texture and how you get it after you compile the project?
Yeah, after I compile the scenery, everything works fine except for the scenery folder does not appear and therefore I have no photoreal scenery in the sim, which kinda beats the purpose of making it in the first place lol... Thanks in advance!
my fsx crashes when i wan't to fly at the new airport i've done it all as you said
you may have placed an object or otherwise done something causing it. I've had this happen before, in my case it was an object causing it. make sure your using FSX or FS9 objects, i dont recommend going further back than that. it may also be the BGL file got corrupted somehow. try a recompile and reinstall of your scenery
My FSX crashes whenever I try to load in at my edited airport. Please help!
Only thing I can say is remove your edited airport. You may have placed an object or otherwise done something causing the crash. try to find out what it is and fix it.
can u make burbank bob hope airport
aslo does this work for P3d
Yes it does work for P3D
hi, i did everything you said but there are trees in the taxiways
did you place the appropriate terrain polygons? Try placing one around the airport with the effect of Flatten_Exclude Autogen
CountryFlyboy thanks now it works. Can you do a video on how to make photorealistic with ADE?
CountryFlyboy *photorealistic scenery
maybe one day when i learn it myself
CountryFlyboy ok
Jack? visited us a few days back....
Do these scenrys work for P3D?
V3 and earlier yes. V4 and later Should but i make no guarantees
Huh the first thing you can say to the other is the people who have been in it and I know that I have the time and will not have it until the end
