• 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.

MCX Exception selecting an object placement

Hi Arno,

I have have an exception when I try to select an objet on the object placement map (MCX last version)
It's the first time I'm using this function so maybe I miss something.
I've open a BGL that contains no object but only placements.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Hi,

I'll see if I can reproduce this error. The Object Placement Editor has not really been designed to work with files that only have placement information and don't have the objects themselves. So that might be the reason for the error.

Hi,

I could reproduce the error here and in the next development release the placement editor will be more robust for this.

I did read that you tried to select a placement on the map. That is not possible in the object placement editor. There are "<" and ">" buttons to cycle through the placements. Click on the map is used to change the position of the active placement. But like I mentioned before, it is designed to work when you also have the object in the same scene in MCX.

Click to expand...
Actually that's what I wanted to do: fix a wrong placement position with a small move.
Do you mean that I can't use MCX to modify an existing placement?

You can only do that when the object model itself is part of the BGL file as well. The Object Placement editor has been designed to be used to add a placement to a loaded object. It has not been designed to work with placement only files.

You can do that with a program like Instant Scenery, but that doesn't work with the later P3D versions.
