AIRPORT DESIGN EDITOR
Airport Designer for Microsoft Flight Simulators FS9 and FSX.
Requirements
There are a number of requirements that must be in place to ensure that ADE will run properly on your system. We supply a small
tool called ADE Environment Checker from The Owl's Nest as part of the full installation. This will check things for you
and help you set up you computer to work properly with ADE.
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5. ADE may work with Framework Version 2 but new features are being added based on the latest
framework. You can download the .NET 3.5 redistributable from
here. Note that if you are running Vista or Windows 7 then you
should not need to download this.
FSUIPC version 3 for FS9 and version 4 for FSX. You do not need to register the products for ADE to work. They can be
downloaded from
The Official Pete Dowson Page
For FSX Only. Microsoft Flight Simulator X DeLuxe or Gold Versions. ADE uses the FSX Software Development Kit (SDK).
This is available only with the DeLuxe Version. Without it you would not be able to compile and install airport enhancements.
Please note that there are problems with the original version of the SDK and you will need to update it to at least SP1a. Updates
to the SDK can be found
here.
