FlightGear Loading Scenery: Tips and Tricks for Success

When it comes to loading scenery in FlightGear, there can be a bit of trial and error involved. One feature that would be particularly useful is the option to simply place objects at terrain altitude, without having to worry about entering specific altitudes above Mean Sea Level (MSL). This can make the process much simpler and more efficient.

However, when placing an object, you do need to enter the altitude above MSL. Fortunately, you can move the tower view around by clicking in the scenery, which can be a helpful workaround. For those who are new to FlightGear, this may require a bit of experimentation to get the hang of it.

Another feature that would be useful is slew mode, which allows you to smoothly pan and zoom in on objects after they have been placed. Unfortunately, this is not currently available in FlightGear. As a result, you may need to use some creative workarounds to view your objects after placing them.

In addition to these tips and tricks, it's also important to note that there are specific guidelines for posting questions and seeking help on the FlightGear forums. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your posts are easy to read and that the right people see them.

For example, if you have a question about SimConnect, you should post it in the SimConnect forum. If you have a question about terrain design, you should post it in the FS2020 terrain design forum. And so on.

By following these guidelines, we can keep the forums organized and make it easier for people to find the help they need. So if you're new to FlightGear or just looking for some tips on loading scenery,
