• 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.

Change of Apron / Rotate View / Display Bug

Hi Russel,

A very cool program you are doing here :)

I have a question, a feature reuqest and a bug report ;)

Question: Is it not yet possible to resize / change the shape of an apron or do I miss the point how to do it?

Feature Request: In AFCAD you could rotate the view by pressing shift while turning the mouse wheel. This was extremly helpful since you could turn the airport view to have straight lines. Is this planned to be added?

Bug report: I want to draw a long fence. So I zoom in to find the correct start point for the first click. Then I have to zoom out and move the airport with the mouse wheel to select the next point of the fence. Doing so will scramble the view of the fence line totally. The results are accurate nevertheless. Can you reproduce that?

Thanky you and best regards,
Martin
 
Hi Russel,

Thanks!

It is possible. Select the apron tool from the toolbar at the top of the screen. (It's near the right, about four from the end.) Then click on the apron you want to modify. All the vertices of that aprono should then become highlighted in blue. You can then click and drag them to the new location. If you want to add a vertex, right click so you get the add apron vertex tool then click where you want to add the vertex (this has been changed to shift-click for future releases). Then right click again to get the remove vertex tool (this will be a control-click in future versions), and right click again to return to the apron tool.

Hopefully that makes sense.!

We are looking into this.

Bug report: I want to draw a long fence. So I zoom in to find the correct start point for the first click.

I think I can reproduce this. Will have to check more and then fix it as appropriate.

:D Yes, clicking into it was the step I was missing. Now it works fine.

Thank you,
