Unbelievable. I know, Scruffy Duck has his own forum where alot of questions are answered. But that is also true for Cpt Randazzo.
And in none of the both forums I am a member. Probably because here in this forum I am a member since more than 13 years. And I am a really loyal soul if you let me.
So, in everything which I write here in this Flight Simulator Discussion, I try to be the customers point of view. And here in this topic especially,
what can you achieve if you use the Airport Design Editor, better known as ADE .
Here on my side, I use ADE v1.78, for fsx and p3dv4.5 .
And the first question which I had when I added p3dv4 in late 2021 as my second flight simulator, was: I knew, ADE is good for fsx, so, is it also good for p3dv4.5? - Yes it is.
But p3d has come quite far with the version p3dv4.5, so that not within a second all ADE X files can be exported to p3dv4 . One of the examples where I almost had a little rage attack
was VTBS Suvarnabhumi International airport. Neither included in fsx, nor in p3d , so probably the most famous example for an international airport in ADE .
Until the year 2014, I still thought that each and every flight simulator which you can buy contains the best and the newest versions of all (bigger) airports,
worldwide.
That must've also been the year when I had the fifth or sixth complete international seasonal flight schedule here on my table,
for my favorite airline. Which I collect at least since January 2010. Calgary, Buenos Aires, Boston Logan, Berlin Tegel, Beirut,
all nonstop at Rhein/Main back then,
but then there was a new one,
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi nonstop. And you will never guess the scheduled a/c type. LH-B744, of course.
My next step was, let me try to find that airport in the simulator, which was fsx only back then. But I only found Don Mueang, and I thought, ok, my mistake,
for a very very long time.
Since the year 2016, still with fsx, I do no longer trust the flight simulators which you can buy. And since then I always write in my pilot's handbook,
when an airport which does not only exist in my head,
does not appear in the simulator
or
appears in the simulator with completely nonsense data, e.g. VTBS Suvarnabhumi Intl or FYWH International.
To make a long story short, what did I do when I perceived that VTBS is missing. Ray Smith is one well known man who also publishes his ADE results for fsx.
So I took his VTBS airport for fsx, and I thought, super, finally Suvarnabhumi . Until I discovered that in his VTBS v1.5,
the SVB 111.40 is missing. And you can guess what I did. I opened my ADE X with his VTBS airport, and I added SVB 111.40 .
And I did what he asked for, I never republished my enhanced version. So probably, the enhanced VTBS fsx version today still is one of my secret pleasures.
And VTBS for p3dv4.5? Soon, here on this frequency.

. So, completely unpublished, and also unfinished, but with the assumed permit of RS, I like to publish at least two pictures of VTBS (unfinished) for p3dv4.5:
Man, I thought that this airport will be recognized during every hour of the day, 0417 a.m. or earlier or later, always.
