• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

First test with my scenery in v2.5... not so good.

So my install with v2.5 seemed to go as planned. Nothing exciting to write about there. Ran the basic default and all looked really good. So I thought I would try must own scenery which worked flawlessly in v2.4. The scenery is just using the P3D default agn buildings and vegetation.

First issue I experienced was trying to get the scenery to load at all. I added it, activated it and it supposedly loaded but low-and-behold it was still the default. Double-checked to make sure I activated it. Tried installing from a different location instead of the old Addon Scenery folder. Same thing. Took re-booting P3D to get the scenery to show. It also has photoreal ground scenery as well if that makes any difference.

Also seems to be reported several times in the LM forums.

2nd issue. Getting artifacts whenever I make an agn slider adjustment. Tried the latest drivers but will go back to a previous proven version to see if that makes a difference.

3rd issue. Lost 99.9% of all my custom vegetation. Buildings seem to be a no issue. Appears to be a max load issue again but again, all were showing up just fine in 2.4. Head scratching on this one. Did they change something for autogen?


So naturally I am curious to see what others first experience is like with their scenery?

Mmmmm... well I am so "gobsmacked" (shocked), about this I un-installed version 2.5 this morning and re-installed 2.4 to see for myself if I did something wrong. Low and behold all my vegetation autogen came back with 2.4!

I also took a look at at the KSAN payware by Latin VFR and it looks to me 2.4 is showing a lot more vegetation. This is with settings at Extremely Dense for both versions. Maybe its just my eyes playing tricks on me.

Issue resolved. Had to due with v2.5 not refreshing after activating/deactivating scenery. An issue I hope LM will put out a patch for.

I just installed 2.5 onto my new SSD and was pretty worried after none of my scenery appeared after activating them. But it came up fine after restarting it.

There is a new hotfix just released so you do not have to restart P3D after every time you activate or deactivate scenery.
