• 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.

P3D v3 Live Editing

Hello Guys,

I want to find a program that allows me to edit airports live, while I'm in the scenery. Recently, I have tried ADE connect feature and I cant see any buildings I add, and as soon as I add something in ADE it crashes P3d. Basically, I'm looking for something like FSX's Object Placement Tool, or any way to fix this crashing problem for ADE. I need live editing.

Thank you for your time,
KH
 
Hello:

You seem to be describing scenery library object placement with a live interactive 3D preview within FS / P3D.


IMHO, probably the most capable utility for this task is Flight1 Instant Scenery (payware):
http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=iscen3


Another such utility is WhisPlacer (freeware)

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/whisplacer.89/


For airport-specific object creation / placement with a live interactive 3D preview in FS (and a 2D mode when not in FS / P3D), one can use:


Flight1 Airport Facilitator X (payware):

http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=afxv1


For airport-specific object creation and placement with a live interactive 3D preview (and which works ONLY while within FS), one can use:


Flight1 Airport Studio (payware)

http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=apstv1


FYI: IIUC, upgrade of both such Flight1 "airport" products is planned for compatibility with P3D:

NOTE: Each such utility has its own unique capabilities, and IMHO, it is good to have multiple tools available for FS development.


BTW: For airport development, one may find that Airport Design Editor (aka "ADE") has a particularly extensive feature set which merits use for certain tasks that are AFAIK, more easily achieved in its current "CAD-type" top-down 2D mode ...than via a "3D mode". ;)

Hope this helps ! :)
