OK, I have just started designing scenery for myself in FSX, meaning when I can't find an add on, I make one. Anyway, I have two simple questions I am sure you can answer. First of all, when I have added and object, I am able to move it around with my mouse, but how do I rotate it? It is holding me back! Cry

Second, where are the bunches of trees to place, rather that having to individuallly place a tree one by one by one....? Whoever answers this first gets a virtual handshake. Roll Eyes

Makes it extremely hard to answer your question if we don't know what software you are using to place the objects, as each one has it's own method of rotating things. Wink

Oops! As you can see I am a real noob a this... I am using the default SDK Object Placement Tool included with my copy of FSX Deluxe, and Abucus Scenery Shortcut t convert the XML's to BGL's.

To rotate the object you edit the 'heading.

With the object selected look under the Properties column for Orientation. The 3 comma seperated Values are 'pitch', 'bank', 'heading'. Edit the Heading, 0.0=North

As for 'bunches of trees', there are a few 'sets' that have maybe 6 to 10 trees, nothing larger. Look for the 'veg' objects that have the term 'set' in their name.

You know....you can just rip up a to-do list.
