Next Steps

Once you have reviewed the Division’s data, create a draft to match those lighting objects to your scenery package. You can adjust their positions in the editor afterwards. If you already have a draft, you can skip to testing.

Draft

Select the correct scenery package and compare it with the division layout.

Testing

Test an existing draft or an XML file created with the legacy MSFS workflow.
