• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

This is the plane that comes out too large? Is the detailed footprint correct?

Delete the library from the Library Object Manager and reload it. ADE should make detailed footprints for the objects then

No, it made no difference. Still an oversized rectangle.

This is it in MCX:

I've notice that on objects with detailed footprints, I cannot copy them (to copy and paste) once they have been moved. I've attached two images of the "right click result" on an airport object. When first placed, I can copy it. Once moved or rotated, copy is no longer an option. Static aircraft made with Don's SAMM don't display their outline--I can move them, copy anytime. Some aircraft models do have detailed footprints. Once moved, they cannot be copied

I didn't see this noted in the thread earlier, but apologize if it's already noted. And it's not big deal. This is really nice for terminals, etc.

I tried to confirm this behavior and I got the same result with a complex library object. The "Copy Object" menu item is missing. However, if I save the airport, restart ADE, it is possible to copy the item.

EDIT:

This appears to be a selection issue. Using the "R key/Left Mouse button/drag" for an area select, the Copy Object item shows up.
