• 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.

Ground Polygon Wizard Issue

Hi all,

Hit another road block with my scenery. I am working on the ground poly, and have a large file covering the airport, with all the apron lines etc. Everything is working well except for little squares on the ground showing which bay the aircraft is taxiing past. They show up in MCX when I import the DAE, I then converted to an MDL, it worked fine. I then converted to a BGL, they were still visible and showing, then when I import that BGL into Ground Polygon Wizard they disappear, everything else shows fine. I have been trying to solve this issue for sometime and it is kind of annoying me a little bit.

Any help is appreciated,
Jacob
 
Hi,

Are they flat polygons? The GPW does filter out objects that are not flat or on the ground. Else I see no reason why they should be lost.
 
Hi Arno,

Turns out they are all there but showing underneath rather than above, which I cannot understand as the normals are the right way up in blender

Which layers did you assign in the GPW?
 
Not sure but I just tried flipping the normals in blender so they are invisible in blender but using assume vertical normal as true in material editor seems to have solved the problem so far. So I will see if this works and get back to you
