• 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.

I've seen this happen on occasion but can't remember what causes this.

in the attachment see the small squares and also the large rectangles on the ground? Those should be lined up with the lights. They are in FSDS but not here in MCX. Any ideas?

It may be you've not centred to the items, or if you've deleted something or somepoints there may be stray points left over affecting the centering, or maybe a scale setting.

Have you compiled it as is, to see if they are still misaligned in the sim itself?
 
Ah thanx. But this one I did figure out with help from a good friend. To correct this I needed to zero the x,y,z axis al to zero, then I reset the part to where it
should be, remembering to keep the x,y,z to zeros. it works fine now,and thanx for the reply.
 
Hope it can help...

I found that moving a animated object (ex : Ambient) is always tricking because it often corrupts his properties, mostly if the object have child parts. To move a animated objet I always remove all keysframes, move the object and again add keyframe.
 
Yes- I found that sometimes I'd have to kill all key frames with all ambients and start over if I made any mistakes. Rather tricky. Zero ing every ambient helped. I just wishedI could trigger it right for P3D4.5 without having to learn Gmax and bones and all. If we only had a tool like CAT in 64 bit. all this should not have to be so difficult.
