Suggestions for Future Version 2012

A tool for getting rid of airport plateau's and holes created when using FSGenesis mesh with default mesh - it applies to both FSX and FS9, although effects are worst in FS9.

Have you looked at the terrain tools in ADEX and the Flatten Tool in ADE9

A tool for converting FSX sceneries created using ADE so that these can be used in FS9.

FSX2FS9 already exists as a separate tool - is that what you mean?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I have. I understand that the areas around affected default and addon airports can sometimes be 'smudged' using flattens so that the plateau effect is minimised.
What I was hoping for, probably unrealistically, is a tool that would do this seamlessly for the hundreds of airports and surrounding areas whose default terrain elevations are significantly different from those in FSGenesis/FSXGenesis meshes.

FSX2FS9 already exists as a separate tool - is that what you mean?

Yet again I have missed something obvious. Where to find this tool?

 

[scruffyduck]

You can get FSX2FS9 here: http://www.mediafire.com/?e6bbezwoexemdb5 This is version 0.6. If you use Help > Check for Updates you should get version 0.8 - that is the current version

Great Stuff, as always. Many thanks.

To update use the menu at bottom left instead of Help.

Ah - shows how much I remember about how my own softare works In my defense the menu entry is there and should do the same thing.....

Maybe a little late, but i have also a suggestion :

Wen you go to "Tools" "Libaries Used", you got a list of third Party Libraries .

Maybe you can make it possible to print that list ?

I think we have that - but I will make sure

EDIT

On the list at [10241]

Can we hide all aprons or do they have to be individually hidden?

can the option to compile out objects as a separate BGL be a project-specific option?

the ability to change a legtype in the approach w/o having to create and delete to get the desired result would be awesome.
take CF to aTF or DF. currently you have to add a new and delete the old..
also an easier way to 'move' the leg position in the appch list 'move leg up one' or down one.

grabbing the perpendicular lines at either end of a guide and being able to drag along the guide's length to increase or decrease it?

given the trouble I often have adding vertex points to an apron or fence or polygon and instead selecting something else or de-selecting the object I'm wondering if the program takes into account that I have the Ctrl key already depressed in anticipation of adding a vertex. So if there is an apron, poly or fence already selected and the Ctrl key is depressed, the program shouldn't bother looking to select/de-select anything.

So instead of me having to "find" the area around the edge that prompts the program to tell me "ok click here with Ctrl depressed to add a vertex" now when a suitable object is selected and I press Ctrl I'm telling the program "I want to add a vertex" and it just pops one at the nearest edge to the cursor.

I will need to investigate how this might be done. I have added it to the list [10268]

Please don't do this - I don't want ADE adding vertices without me clicking! It could be more generous in its click area for this process when the Ctrl key is held down though.

No worries - any adding vertices would have to be under user control
