• 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.

Unable to move runway

I am creating EGDR for VFR scenery and have inserted the first runway but ADE will not allow me to move it, After highlighting I can rotate the runway but not move it to its correct position. The maual says I should be able to move it by dragging but this does not happen. Any help would be appreciated, am I doing/not doing something stupid

I am using Vista with SP1

Hi David,

There should be no problem dragging a runway unless you have inadvertently locked it:





George
 
George is correct. There are a couple of ways to lock runways to stop them being accidentally moved or deleted

If the tooltip for the runway has a yellow background check that you have not locked runways - Look in the Lock menu and maje sure that runways is not ticked. If it has a pink backgroun then select it, right click it and then uncheck the lock object entry.

I suspect the first of the two.

Many thanks for your help. It was locked in the "Lock" menu. Sorry didn't think of looking there I assumed that there would be a tick\cross in the Lock box on the main view. Now I know
Again many thanks

Good to know it is fixed. The issue of the missing tick has been raised before. That box is ticked when the user locks something rather than having an application wide lock. We need to update our documentation :o
