Yes, except that this doesn't *install* anything. It only allows to place
and adjust models in the scenery. This is not permanent, but you can export
or dump that information to the terminal and then manually add the respective
lines in the appropriate *.stg files. Short HOWTO:
- start fgfs with ufo (maybe adding --prop:source=Models,Scenery/Objects
to the command line)
- read ?-key information
- open m-key dialog, select model
- mouse-click somewhere on the terrain (the model appears there)
- adjust model in Tab-key dialog if necessary
- repeat above as often as you like
- finally dump information to terminal (d-key) or export file (e-key)
You get something like this:
# w130n30/w123n37/942058.stg
OBJECT_SHARED Models/fgfsdb/WaterWorks30m.xml -122.445475 37.641972 90.0779
0.0
# w130n30/w123n37/942050.stg
OBJECT_SHARED Models/fgfsdb/generic_chimney_01.ac -122.289551 37.557709
1.5851 0.0
OBJECT_SHARED Models/fgfsdb/generic_power_plant.xml -122.257047 37.538300
0.1940 0.0
... whereby the # line contains the file path (relative to one of the paths
in FG_SCENERY or the Objects/ subdir therein), the other lines are to be
copied
into this file.
> What is the proper method for changing the Beacon location at an airport?
This can't be done with the UFO scenery editor. Existing scenery models are
managed by the tile-manager, while UFO-placed objects are managed by the
model-manager. The UFO can only add/adjust/remove objects of the latter type.
After adding the lines to the *.stg file they belong to the former group.
To edit the beacon location, you fly the UFO right to the beacon, put an
arbitrary model there, then put a beacon to the correct place and dump
the information for both to the terminal. Then you open the respective
*.stg file(s) and repace the old beacon line with the new one.
I hope this was confusing enough. :-)
