DOLOMITES and MSFS 2020

I've been working Dolomites for a few days ... with my 3D models.
As everyone has seen, the Dolomites (a World Heritage Site) are absolutely not present in MSFS, but only bleak hills.
After a first phase of uncertainty, due to some setting errors, I was able to insert the 3D models in MSFS.
However, simply entering is not enough. Precise and burr-free positioning is required. With current MSFS tools this is currently not possible. Very approximate and not very intuitive.
Easy to insert small 3D objects on flat meshes (airports, houses ...) easy to insert entire cities in photogrammetry (even for non-experts), for the mountains the difficulty is considerable.
Accurately positioning a large 3D object (mountain) on LOD-low meshes, without the ability to correct the meshes, is virtually impossible.
Currently the tools available are very few, bound to work on the SIM, no external compiler, no possibility to work on meshes. In addition, the orthophotos in mountain areas present very evident fixed shadows, creating black areas (unsightly), difficult / impossible to correct.
For all these current situations it is not possible to build quality scenaries like I did for Xplane 11. Too bad because the light and atmosphere created by MSFS is extraordinary and very realistic.
I await your comments and suggestions.
