I have been using ADE9x to redesign airports in FS9, especially ones that have added a new runway or significantly changed an existing runway. The current one I am working on is KGSO to add 5L/23R. I am getting quite comfortable with Jon's ADE from Scruffyduck and only recently starting using the "Approach Mode" for ADE9x. I went to Jon's website to ask this question, but the forum link says the forums are temporarily down.I went to the suggested website FSDeveloper.com to follow Jim Viles tutorial, but the link appears to be broken, at the least the one in the user manual for ADE9x anyway. I have managed to create approaches off the approach plates for the runways I have added, but it was ususally by trial and error...mostly after reviewing a "similar" approach at another field. The part that confuses me and the reason for trial and error is the different Approach/Missed/Transition leg types. I couldn't find a description in the ADE9x manual for the difference between a CA, CF, FC, HA, PI, etc, etc, leg. Transitions are especially difficult for me to figure out. I know what the chart is telling me, but I am finding it very difficult to pick the right type of transition leg to get me from, for example, GSO (the last waypoint for every STAR into KGSO) at Greensboro to the IAF for Runway 5L, JEVEN and then plug in the Approach Hold to get the aircraft turned back toward the runway depicted on the ILS Approach Chart for Rwy 5L.A "Punch List" of what the two-character code for the different types of Legs (App/Missed/Transition) mean would help me immensely I think. I know how to read the chart and know what I want each specific leg to do, but I don't know which leg code does what.Clear as mud, right?Randy "Ramjett53" Tyndall

The ADE support Forum is at www.fsdeveloper.com.

Perfect Scott, thank you.And I will go to FSDeveloper and search also. Didn't think to try the link while outside of the ADE manual, only while reading it. My bad!Randy

No - that is our bad (or rather mine) for not updating our links

I went to the FSDeveloper Forum and found Jim Viles' excellent tutorial on creating approaches in ADE9x. Awesome. I had GSO set up with the approach chart transitions, approaches, and missed legs in about 10 minutes. It couldn't have been more simple.I wish I had found it earlier because I had already muddled through KIAD, which was the example he used. Took me three days to get the approaches for the renamed 1C-19C changed over from the default and then add new ones for the new runway at Dulles.After breezing through GSO I also went through my redesigned CLT and added approaches for their new runway. Wow. What a difference that tutorial made. It was almost like Jim was looking over my shoulder saying, "no, no, you need this type of leg here, not that one."Thank you Scott for the excellent pictorial charts of the different leg types. Thanks, Jon, for an awesome platform to build with, and thanks, Jim, for the outstanding presentation on how to do it.:( Randy "Ramjett53"

I am coming in late on this one but thank you Randy for the kind words :smile:jim
