• 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.

Latitude Longitude information

I'm coming from X-plane. Could someone tell me which file has the information about where each model has the lat long info on where it is placed?

Id like to be able to edit the lat long placement from the file. It's really simple in X-plane.

Thanks
 
With MSFS, as with any Microsoft flight simulator, you do not alter the original files. You exclude an object and then place a new instance of the object. There are several videos that explain this process.

Almost all buildings in MSFS are placed correctly according to the aerial imagery, but there are many airport objects (runways, taxiways, windsocks, etc...) that are not right. The MSFS SDK is lacking tools and information on most terrain items.
