Move/Adjust Airport

[Woogey]

Is there an easy way to move or adjust an airport and its buildings? I have come to the conclusion that it is a matter of rebuilding the scenery from the ground up, but hoping there is a better way. Lets take Hill AFB for example. When converting it to a newer sim platform, you will find that the runway and parking apron alignment are off a bit form the real world locations. As such the building are out of position as well. There is a secondary issue with building scale that can be addressed fairly easily. Is my method of adjusting each item by hand, one by one the only way? I am converting for P3d4.

If you have the PROKEY for ADE, one of the options is the ability to move the airport in its entirety by lat/long or a set distance in a specific direction.

If you don't then I guess you would have to lay in a ground map, then select everything and move it all as one collection to where you wanted it to go.

I'm interested in Hill AFB too Woog for all 3 sim versions. There are 23 F-35A's to accommodate. I haven't looked at it yet though.

In a similar but in every sense retro way, I wanted to adjust Brian Clark's RAE Bedford to align with my old photoscenery in FS9. The prokey for ADE does indeed allow the airport itself to be moved, but the buildings are all in a separate bgl and I don't yet know of any way to re-align them too.

Import the object placement bgl into ADE first, then move everything.

Hi Greg, that worked a treat for the buildings, all good. The aircraft start position is good, too, but all the runways and taxiways have now disappeared, although everything looks okay in ADE. I've tried applying a flatten but it doesn't appear to make any difference. Oh, and traffic is okay, it sits correctly on the airfield.

Any further thoughts?
