• 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.

Would it be possible to position the last edited file at the top of the MRU list?

Currently, if the file is in the list, it remains in the same poaition as it was previously.

I will check George. I am thinking about changing the MRU system in any case. Added to the list
 
make polygons and aprons able to follow helper shapes and guide lines. or connect between select position marker aides.
or just select a predefined shape like a helper object, but in apron mode.
 
Just had a thought... would it be possible to add pitch and height settings to taxi signs? This may just not be an option for these objects but I'm looking at those taxiway labels like the gate numbers or "RWY AHEAD" or "ILS" that some airports have on the ground and I realized that if you pitched a taxiway sign on its back and lowered it into the ground so just the very top was showing you'd effectively have a (crude, I admit) ground label

You can create an apron from a helper shape now. Added to the list.

I have a feeling that pitch is ignored in FSX......

Actually it's the Bank property that seems to be ignored. As you can see by this poor fellow below (Pitch set to 90.0) at least one axis of rotation is available for objects. Again not sure if this will apply to taxi signs though. The C182 to the left had Bank set to 90.0 as well and showed no ill effects...

There are no properties for pitch or roll or altitude in the Taxi Sign code:

Code: 
<TaxiwaySign 
      lat="N47 25.91"
       lon="W122 18.50"
       heading="0"
       label="l[G]d[F\]m[11R-29L]"
       size="SIZE5"
       justification="LEFT"/>

The above is from the SDK
 
when looking at the list of taxi links can it show the color of the link you selected rather than just the default color?
 
Putting a "Export XML" function in the FILES menu would be more like other Windows applications.

You see colors to the left of the taxi links in the List view. These are the default colors assigned to Taxi/Path/Closed/etc links when you first draw them. However you can assign your own colors to links to differentiate them. It would be nice to be able to pick these links out in the List view by ADE showing their chosen color not just their default color

Ah - OK I understand now - I will add it to the list
