• 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.

Hi Don,

Thanks so much for adding this feature. Sadly it isn't working for me. Just ignores me. I am clicking on a light in a strip or line of lights, then right click and selecting the command.

I'm also occasionally having issues with the context menu from a right click just not opening up. I just get a thin line where it should be. I very much doubt this is your code,

When Adding a light to a line of lights, I am frequently getting a "Cursor is to far from the line" Message. At this time, I also noticed the the Hdg value for some lights in the strip is '-0.9'. Moving one of the lights in the strip slightly seems to make the message go away.

Hi,

I am also often getting the thin horizontal line when I right click. It's like the popup menu has no items in it.

I think that if you do not move one light in a line, that option is not really available? And I assume the error message is referring to the location of the previous line you may have edited? That option probably should not be present until it can apply to the currently selected line of lights. (Note that this is just a guess, I haven't actually tested this behavior since I can't get the popup menu to appear, see above).
 
The single line occurs when you select a taxiway edge or centerline strip that has not been edited. It is meant to indicate that not context menu functions are available. This is because taxiway edge and centerline lights are controlled with default parameters SInce it seems to be causing confusion, I'll include an explicit message instead.

Martin, I have fixed the move light to A/C function. I'll re-release as soon as I address another issue that has just been reported.
 
Hi Tom,

The menu thing seems to go away if you just go and do something else and come back to it. Where the cursor error is concerned, I am just moving along a line adding lights where AFLT hasn't put in enough. However the line in question is almost exactly North South,.
 
Just a thought Don, but would it make sense to disable Compile when connected to FSUIPC? I often forget to shut down FSX before hitting Compile.
 
Don't know about "making sense", but why would it be necessary. The issue to which I think you are alluding is that FSX locks the files it is using making update impossible. (Nothing to do with FSUIPC.) If you attempt to compile to FSX while FSX is running, AFLT will stop mid-process and tell you about the problem. You can then close FSX and the compile can continue.

PS: 4.4.3.7 which fixed the move issue has been posted.
