Great tool. Many thanks!

Wow cool.
Thank you very much

Much appreciated stfx, nice job.

I donât think thereâs a tool in FL mod studio to do this but FL Dev has one, look in the Misc Tools tab under the Angle and Distance calculator just input the two objects coordinates and itâll output distance and angle.
You could do the same thing with trigonometry but whereâs the fun in that

Due to the upcoming 6 year anniversary since I first started it I decided to add starworldâs requested feature. Also because I immediately liked that feature and it turns out that it indeed helps a lot to align trade lane positions/rotations which was always cumbersome.
From the FAQ: Object tracking shows info of your selected and tracked object like distance and angle between both. To track the currently selected object use âView -> Track selectedâ or its keyboard shortcut. To no longer track the selected object use âView -> Track selectedâ again.
Version 1.0.6 additionally also added selection toggling inside the 3d viewer by holding CTRL while clicking on a model.
I hope you like it

3D viewer evolves into 3D editor!
After lots of hours developing this ever wanted feature I finally present object manipulation including translating, rotating and scaling.
The beauty of this one is that you manipulate them relative to their rotation, so you can move them in the direction they are facing. This allows you to move them to a specific distance from another object and also complements setting absolute values in the property grid very well. There are a few things which could be improved like automatically updating the values in the property grid while manipulating the objects, or different mouse<->rotation behavior but stuff like that will have to wait for another time.
Additionally selecting objects is now also as easy as it should have always been. If you click on system objects (stations, planets, etc.) you can actually select them through any zones. You can also select paths through zones.
I also worked on some other stuff which you can check out in the link to the changelog below
I really hope you like those changes:)

You should fix the camera movement in your 3d editor. The controls are terrible. The zoom is not smooth enough. On that way I canât get close enough to the objects for actually moving them exactly. You also should implement arrow keys for object or camera movement.
I donât know if you ever worked with level editors like Valveâs Hammer Editor, but that are controls you can work with. -
Thanks guys, means a lot

I donât know if you ever worked with level editors like Valveâs Hammer Editor, but that are controls you can work with.Are you talking about the steps when using mouse scroll zooming? You can hold ALT + right mouse button while moving the mouse to get smoother zoom.
Yes I could implement arrow key camera movement, I didnât think anyone would need them but if you like them why not.
If what you are searching is some kind of walk-around camera then simply use CTRL + right mouse button to look around and CTRL + ALT + right mouse button to move forward/backward. If you zoom out more you move faster using walk-around movement and vice versa.
Please take a look at the mouse bindings in the FAQ as all this is explained there.
Btw I would not recommend using walk-around camera as it is much faster using âFocus selectedâ, middle-mouse to offset camera, alt + right mouse to zoom and clicking the orientation cube to orient the camera along the axis to offset the camera along it.
Or maybe I donât get what you mean:)
Also how close do you want to get? The near-distance limit of the camera and also the zoom limit is at about the size of a player ship. No idea why you would want to get closer than that.
PS: No I didnât work with that editor but with Unity, Maya, 3D Max and some others.

thx for the very nice updates

Yea, an amazing and useful upgrade!
May you make a key which acts like Z key in Max (centers camera on selected object) next time?âView -> Focus selectedâ or CTRL+F is what you are looking for (Look-at and zoom extends).
Double right mouse click looks-at the clicked object without zooming btw.
I hope this answers your question:)
