Missing taxiways when using FSX scenery in P3D

What you are seeing is probably the difference between FSX and P3D when it comes to drawing taxiways - as far as I'm informed, in FSX, aprons and some taxiways are drawn regardless of the "draw flag" settings; not so in P3D.

The cure is not far away though, Airport Design Editor (ADE) has a tool specifically aimed at correcting "draw flag" issues.

See this explanation and "how-to" by Scruffyduck himself: https://scruffyduck.screenstepslive...etting-taxi-link-draw-flags-to-default-values

It deals with taxi links, but the procedure for aprons is exactly the same. :)
 
Thanks for the help. It very much seem to be the problem. I have got ADE and is trying it out, having a problem with getting it to compile at the moment.
 
Do you have any advice on this error message?

Looks like a problem with the black runway taxi links or the runway itself. I checked my own copy and these links have Surface=True, Detail=True (after the P3D taxi link fix). FYI I attached my files.

Thanks! Have you done the rework to any other of the german airbases?

Neuburg is sort of special for me as it is one of a few Luftwaffe bases I have actually been to. We flew both into and out of Neuburg when my old unit was a month training at the German army Infantry school at Hammelburg. Luftwaffe Transall back to Norway with a heavy headwind, 6-7 hours flight time if I remember correctly.. The other is Holzdorf in the east.
 
I have fixed several of Uwe's afcads for P3Dv2.5, PM me if you want my files:
Baden-Sollingen RCAF
Buchel
Eggebek
Hohn
Husum
Jever
Kiel Holtenau
Lechfeld
Manching AB
Neuburg
Oldenburg
Schleswig
 
I ran into missing taxiways, etc with many of the airports in the Vietnam War Project. I also got compiler errors which led me to post a copy of one of the error messages in FSDeveloper. The answer was to run the fault finder, let it find the problems (many times nodes are not connected or errant start points or overlapping nodes). Once I started running fault finder first before resetting the draw flags I eliminated any compiler errors.
