• 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.

MSFS Object placement, relative coordinates and rotations

Is it possible to create a scene in blender (or any other 3d editing software) with many objects (not just a single mesh) and have the exact placement and orientation of objects in-sim as well?
I guess a method of parenting all object to a single parent, and then use all the relative positions and rotations in x,y,z would work (relative to the parent axes).
But fs2020 seems to handle every single object in lat, long, heading, alt etc. Taking into account the earths' curvature for large models also make things trickier.
Is hand placing the objects the only option we have so far? (which means you can't have an exact match of a blender scene)

I get the need to use lat, long for every object. But what happens when you want to compose a scene from objects with exact placements related to each other?

thanks
