• 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 41 Bug(?) - Right-Click affects wrong object

As the title says, the right-click menu affects whatever object you are currently moused-over instead of the object that you selected.

For example, if you have a vehicle path with five segments (*see attachment*) and select the upperleft taxipoint. Then move your mouse over the lower right taxipoint and right-click and select "delete". Doing so will delete the second point, and leave the first point still selected. (*okay, I'm not going crazy - I was deleting things that I didn't want to delete and couldn't figure out why*) :)

Alright, so there are two options on this one...

1.) When a user selects an object, no matter where the mouse is, the right-click menu should only pertain to the selected item (*I think this is the most user-intuitive method*)

-- or --

2.) If a user selects an item and then right-clicks on something else, make the new item now selected and do the same as #1

Either way, this will save a TON of headaches. In my day of "playing around", I could never figure out why stuff was being deleted when I had something else selected... :)

David I will look at this - you are correct that it is possible to delete somethng that is not selected. The original mode for the program just required you be over the item - if you have the tool tip name visible then you are in a position to delete the item named in the tooltip. This saved time since you did not need to select the item first - but it is not a good way to do it so I will turn that off in favor of deleting only the selected item.
