• 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.

FSX:SE Library Object Footprints

Hi guys

I have recently installed a load of object libraries using LOM. Some objects show a 2D footprint when placed but some only show a orange square. Is there any way to get an object to show its footprint in ADE?

Whether there is a footprint or not for a given object in a library depends on whether one can be generated. Footprints are generated using code from Arno's MCX libraries. You can check to see whether something went wrong by loading the library in the latest MCX and click on Special Tools > Generate Footprint Object

If you get a recognizable footprint in MCX but not in ADE let me know. Footprints may not be created for complex objects or very simple ones
