• 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.

Can a select box be added for multiple selections at one go? Some airports are so far off that there is a need to simply dump a many items and redraw.

AND Thanks for the new update. Big step forward!

Hi Dick - are you referring to rubber banding a selection and then moving any objects inside the box? If so it is on the list to be done :)
 
Yes, a sizable box that is common in today's applications to select elements for actions - move, delete, resize, etc.

If a airport is not where it should be and a move of the airport is performed this will destroy most of what we refer to as the unseen approach scenery.

The easiest airport to move is one that has NO Approach code embedded in the XML. However just because a airport does not have a ILS it may have many other type approaches with related Waypoints.

If you are moving a airport please check first for any type approaches. If approaches exist and you need help with moving the correct waypoints don't hesitate for assistance.

In a future release Jon will allow us to capture just the waypoints and when one is moved all will move so the relationship of T_waypoints to the runway will be consistant.
 
Good point. I am messing with Dreamscapes 30cm Oahu and seeing if I can use the "natural" airports without artificial surfaces. However, given the nature of the hi-res scenery the jet waypoints and ILS's have not come into play. My plane of choice is a modified Cessna given the very attractive scenery.

An encompassing "move an airport" function is sorely needed since only major facilities seem to be accurate when using photo scenery.

To do it right including re-linking any/all approaches waypoints and so on is, I think, a complex task. Our general view is that providing a 'move the elements'only solution to shifting an airport is unsatisfactory.
