Just an idea: is it possible to manipulate terrain height ingame like in the editor 'terrain sculpt mode'?
I could imagine to create something like a bulldozer, mainly to flatten ground for larger placeable objects, but also for other purposes. Was this doable?

Additional Q.: can I switch off the collision test when placing objects? At larger objects there's often the problem that one side is floating above ground. I'd wish to edit the Y-values manually in a certain range.
And it seems, the engine now recalculates the terrain height placement new at game start? In FS13 I could adjust the height position afterwards in savegame, but now the engine ignores new y-position. Is this switchable, eg. by XML-tag or attribute in i3d?

Hi,

no, it is not possible to edit the terrain via functions in the game.

There is no way to disable the "alignment to terrain" of placeables.
Except by overwriting a function ...

I guess you will find it.

Cheers,
