• 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.

Drawing in FSX

This is a tool development/Simconnect topic. I've been playing with the object placer tool and when you place an object you get a box drawn around them. I'd like to know if its possible to do similar with other addons via SimConnect. Being able to draw simple lines in real time in FS would be great for other design tools.

I'm interested too. Real-time placement, or WYSIWYG scenery design is a really cool feature. I remember how easy was the scenery editor of FS4 :rolleyes:
Today EZ-Scenery although very feature-poor, is a very popular software because of it. I really want to have a freeware object placer that can do it :cool:
However I haven't found anything related in the simconnect documentation. :(

If you want to draw line or polygons, you may want to use FSX-KML while running a google earth tracker, like FSXGet that shows your position into GE. The latest free version of GE allows line drawing (which was only available to GE+ subscribers before)
 
Concerning the object placement tool I realized that "Save Scenery" really saves a scenery XML that can be compiled using BglComp :p Really cool feature. The only downside is that we have all the useless mission GUI around, but it makes indeed a nice object placer software usable by most FS users.
