Object Placement Tool (FSX)

The Object Placement Tool, (OPT), is multifunctional, and can be used for placing scenery as well as creating missions.

The OPT is available on the FSX Tools menu.

Installation

The OPT is installed as part of the SDK Toolset (FSX).

See SDK Installation (FSX) for instructions.

THe OPT is a very capable, if somewhat unwieldy tool.

The OPT can be used for creating scenery.

Place your fixed-location object.

On the ??? tab, click 'Save Scenery'.

For the OPT to work, FSX must be running in 'windowed' mode.

If an unlocked object refuses to move with click-drag, you can reposition the reluctant object, with the mouse, (without click-drag).

Using Top-Down mode.

Double click in the OPT coords area. Click the FS window location you require.

Object will 'jump' to that location.

Zoom in and repeat as required.
