I've tried, I've searched, I've looked. I'll ask...
I am adding objects to my local airport. I am using TerraSync. If I add the object positions to the file in /flightgear/terrasync they show up. However, if I put them in the same folder under flightgear/scenery or flightgear/data/scenery they don't show up. I am making the same file names for the stg files, hoping flightgear will read things from more than one of the paths I have set in the FG_SCENERY: on the first page of the wizard and combine them.
I've tried terrasync first, I've tried terrasync last, the only way that the objects show up is to put them in the file in the terrasync tree. But this might be replaced if an updated file becomes available on the terrasync server no? Is there some way to use terrasync and include my local objects via a file not in the terrasync path?
A related issue, I had added these objects to one version, then when a newer version of my local scenery was available, all my objects were floating above the terrain. Moving a bunch of objects down manually seems to be a stupid job for a human. Is there some way to specify the height of an object relative to the terrain at the Lat/Lon position specified? Some utility to lower all objects in the file by some specified amount?
Thanks for your thoughts,
