Error message "invalid child" in the scenery editor

Dear MSFS dev support team,
sometimes I get the message “invalid child” when I try to save the scenery in the scenery editor, see screenshot attached. But when I compile&build&export the airport project in the project editor, no errors are highlighted, all is fine, and the scenery works in the community folder.

What could be the reason for this error message, and how can I identify the problem MSFS has with it? How can I fix this issue?

post the scenery editor full list or its xml

should I post the airport XML file?

here you are …

Can you check your “TaxiName”? name=“0” seems strange to me.

I had this problem recently when I forgot the name of a taxiway. Number “0” doesn’t sound good. Leave it empty or put any letters… may be it will resolve the problem…

EDIT:

My problem was for a “taxiway parking” object when I forgot to put a number. Anything but “0” is OK..

Hello @MumbaiJi,

You have two TaxiwayPoint “hold short” not connected

And some TaxiwayPath not connected to the main graph :

Hope this helps,

I wonder how can such a “broken” taxiway net causes “invalid child” problems? Could this happen?

thanks, but had this taxiway parking issue caused the “invalid child” problem?

We will then complete the full taxiway net from the runway to the parking stands, and hope that this may fix also the “invalid child” problem … Thanks for your feedback, appreciated!

It’s always been a requirement that taxiways must be fully connected, and all parking spots have to be connected. I highly recommend being precise in your taxiway map, or you’ll likely cause CTD’s for users even if they’re not even using your airport.
