The Object Placement Tool, (OPT), is multifunctional, and can be used for placing scenery as well as creating missions.

The OPT is available on the FSX Tools menu.

Installation

The OPT is installed as part of the SDK Toolset (FSX).

Useage

THe OPT is a very capable, if somewhat unwieldy tool.

Tips

Moving an object

If an unlocked object refuses to move with click-drag, you can reposition the reluctant object, with the mouse, (without click-drag).

Using Top-Down mode.

Double click in the OPT coords area. Click the FS window location you require.

Object will 'jump' to that location.

Zoom in and repeat as required.
