• 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.

The latest development release includes a feature that has been requested many times already. That is the ability to interactively move model parts and attached objects with the mouse in the 3D preview. When in the navigation interaction mode you can press and hold the M key to enter the move sub-mode for the selected node. With the R key you can enter the rotate sub-mode. In these two sub-modes you can use the right mouse button to move or rotate along one of the axes of the object or to move it along a plane.

The video below gives a demonstration of this feature.

This is a first implementation of the interactive editing feature. I am sure there are things that can be improved to make the editing experience more smooth. So if you have ideas for that, please post them on the forum.

Thanks Arno for another great feature. My apologizes for constantly bring up other issues when you're working on new features. I'm sure it breaks your concentration and ability to focus on your work.

Regards
Rick
 
No problem, fixing annoying bugs is often more important than making new features.

And for many years suggestions and questions in the forum have succeeded in distracting me and starting to work on something else. But that variation is also nice.
