• 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.

ADE-GP Helpers

The conversion of helpers to GPs is a great step forward, however, my problem is that the helper handles are huge.

I needed a rectangular GP so I created a rectangular helper, but fould it very difficult to position the helper over the correct spot:





Ignore the photo background, it is not my AFD but one uploaded earlier by someome testing the GP editor,
 
To get around this problem with the fat lines when a polygon or line is selected, I drag the vertices to a reasonable arrangement, then click away from the object to remove all the fat stuff. Then I re-select it and make adjustments.

Hope this helps,
 
OK - this is an ADE issue - I am not sure I have control over the size of those handles since they are generated by the graphics engine. Also they are only present if you have the ProKey as I recall.

It seems that the GP Editor brings into focus the use of much smaller objects than ADE is used to handling

Too true.

I have found problems when inserting vertices into polylines. They tend to kink the line. It would be very useful to have a "Straighten links" option.

Let me see what I can do..........
