I tried a forum search for this topic but found nothing newer than 2007 and none that answered my question.

When using ADE to edit airports it is necessary to change the xml file to bgl.  This requires SDK which came as part of FSX and does not seem to be available without.  FSX-SE has an SDK file but is missing the files "shp2vec" and BGLComp.XSD.  Have these files become available elsewhere for download?

I only have FSX-SE installed.

The FSXSE SDK is incomplete for reasons unknown (yes, Dovetail knows about it). You may, however, use the freely available P3D v1.4 SDK instead.

Thank you Bjoern.  Downloaded the prepar3d sdk, pointed the ADE compile at it and it worked.
