Something I'd like to see!

Actually, there are a few things, but the first is this. . .When I go to add a new scenery to the scenery library, the directory defaults to the Prepar3D folder. That's not where my scenery is kept. . .I have it on a separate drive, outside of FSX. What that means is, that let's say I have a scenery I want to install and it has the base scenery folder, a separate mesh folder and a separate objects folder (just for the sake of an example). Right now I would have to browse to the scenery folder, locate the correct scenery and add it by clicking "OK". That puts the location back at the Prepar3D folder as default. . .soooo, I have to again browse to the correct folder, find the mesh folder, activate it. . .and start all over again for the objects folder. Wouldn't it be nice if, when you load a scenery folder, it would keep that location for the next time you want to add a scenery folder? I don't know what's involved in getting that to work, but it sure would streamline the addition of scenery to the Sim.
 
I wish I could use keyboard commands on everything, like Tab key for jumping to locations, instead of using mouse for certain things.

When you develop things and you run the sim all day long, all year, constantly booting it up, it helps to be able to fast-NAV through the selections. You can move faster in keyboard navigation then Mouse-ing it... But that's the way it goes.

I have a faster, smoother sim world now with HDR and inner cabin shadows (that are freaking amazing), so I can deal with the trade-off. :)


EDIT: I don't mean to sound like I am putting down idea's. I highly suggest putting that idea into the suggestions forum at Prepar3D, Ed. I put things in there all the time. I really want 'Walk Around' for V2, so I put that in there all the time. Ask and it will be given.... as the Word says... ;)
