Drag and drop files into SD

What would be amazing is the ability to drag new MDL files into SD instead of quitting and reloading every time, very time consuming when you're looking how new models look in SD. or just the ability to unload and reload BGL files as the BGLs are locked when SD is open i have to quit and restart to ...

Place an object in SimDirector looks great but when you export to BGL, which does not work in SimDirector BTW you have to drag the sxml to th...

What needs fixing

1) Open Simdirector into the menu system to choose what file to open, not open default scenario. 2) Amend scenery list in menu, to update currently the programme must be close and either add / remove via P3D or text edit the scenery config file. 3) Cache the catalog for friends name to reduce the lo...

developing aircraft models for the future

I hope that anyone deloping aircraft models with stop adding the horrible looking reflection to cockpit glass or at lease make a VR version of the craft without reflections, they look so fake in VR, fine for 2d screens, just thought I'd let any devs know this is an issue in VR.
