• 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.

Is it possible to place ez scenery objects in FSX with the Object Placement tool.

There are hangers in a file I downloaded called "ga_hangers_ss_v3" I have used them in FS9 but don't know how to get them into FSX, or if it is even possible.

Any thoughts??
 
Hi,

Yes, it is possible. There is nothing special about an EZ-Scenery object, it is just an object in an object library. So they can be placed with different objects placement tools as well.

What you should know is that the OPT does show such objects by their GUID, not with a friendly name. So that makes them a bit harder to find in the list.
 
Thanks Arno,

I'm guessing that this is an example of a GUI in a bgl ---> "7c8dced5-b8f4-49e4-8ff2-6152b4985d8b"

Is there any place in perticular that you would think is a wise place to place the bgl and textures in FSX?
 
Hi,

I think it would be best to make a special folder for your object libraries and put the common ones there. You don't want them in multiple places. So I would make a folder called "My Object Libraries" or something like that and collect them in there.
 
Sorry I'm mistaken, this is the GUI ..... 724B7E55E6BD486EB9887F158723A101

But I don't see it in the scenery file list on OPT
 
It is not really your question, but personally I would drop the OPT and use another placement tool. For example WhisPlacer is a nice one. The interface of the OPT is just too bad.
 
Thanks Arno,

The file idea was a good one. I shall also give WhisPlacer a try on your recommendation.

I think you know best.
