altitudeIsAgl = false not supported in scenery editor

[mamuDesign]

Version: 1.XX.XX.X

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Context: editing in scenery editor

Similar MSFS 2020 issue: same

Bug description:

Creating a placement .xml outside of the editor using
altitudeIsAgl=false and snapToGround=false for a Scenery object,

When loaded in the Scenery Editor, the objects are loaded underground, makin them impossible to manually edit them

In the following 4 years old thread this was supposed to be eventually fixed to support altitudeIsAgl=False in the scenery editor

Is altitudeAGL="FALSE" futureproof?

Hello, This is correct. Documented here: https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Content_Configuration/Environment/General_Definition_Properties.htm#sceneryobject This is taken into account and setting it to false will evaluate the given altitude as MSL. I added a task so that we eventually handle it in the UI. Regards, Sylvain

Hello,

There is already a topic about this here :

Altitude offset ignored if altitudeIsAgl="FALSE"

Version: 1.2.7.0 Frequency: Consistently Severity: High (Low - quality of life, workflow optimization, rare enough to not impact production, etc… High - critical but workarounds are available, important feature not working as expected, frequent enough to impact production Blocker - prevents from working on the project, prevents from releasing the product) Marketplace package name: ENSH Svolvaer by Wombii Context: 2020 project converted to 2024 and edited using 2024 project editor. Simila…

This should be planned for SU5.

Regards,
Boris
