does anyone know what im doing wrong? I am currently creating some scenery for Galveston, TX and have made an Oil company HQ's with 4 Helipads (1 on the roof) and a hospital with 4 helipads (1 on the roof) and some offshore oil rigs. Everything works fine except when i try to add people on the oil rigs or on the roof helipads. For some reason when i load the scenery the people on the rigs end up in the water below where i origianlly placed them but when im in the object placement tool they show up in their proper spot. I have people at the helipads on the ground and they show up just fine and in the right spot, same with the ambulances at the hospital helipads. Is there a problem with the scenery shortcut that will not allow you to place objects off the ground (i.e. on top of a buiding or on an elevated helipad?) please help so i can fix this and share my scenery

thanks for the info. it is much appreciated. i went ahead and uploaded my scenery here on simviation. its under FSX scenery. It should be under the newest. It contains 5 offshore oil rigs an Oil Company HQ's with 4 helo landing pads, a hospital with 4 landing pads and an accident site with 2 flipped over tanker trucks that are on fire. hope everyone enjoys and please if you find any bugs or problems feel free to message me. hope you all enjoy.

Unless Abacus has released something new that I am not aware of, their EZ Object Placing program is designed to work in FS2004 only - not FSX.

The Instant Scenery program from Flight1 - which is much improved version of EZ - works in both versions of FS.

Opa - you're right.

Abacus' EZ Scenery was for FS2004 only. The developer "jumped ship" and created the "Instant Scenery" for both FS-X and FS2004.

The "Scenery Shortcut" is a freebie, a simple little utility that takes advantage of the FSX capabilities. It's just that, a basic object placer.
