• 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.

FS2004 Vector Autogen Issues

Hello All!

I have ben working on a vector scenery for the west European area in FS9. I figured out how to (painstakingly) convert OSM to FS9 rivers, roads, coastlines....

One thing came to my mind! If I place buildings beside residential roads how will this look? Pretty well It seems! Here an example of what comes out when things go well!

However, there are times when the vector autogen goes berserk:

All the buildings should not be there! there is no roads beside them! Also, this terrain.cfg trick has quite the performance impact, nd this glitch decimates FPS from 100 to 7!! (in normal working conditions, it already may reduce FPS by 50%,but 100 to 50 is still usable).

How does this work? a new texture type was defined on terrain.cfg. it calls library objects that are placed beside the roads. Using clipdata=0 seems to mitigate the problem, but it seems to cause occasional crashes (actually, systematic at given locations)!

If cannot sort this out, I will remove this trick from the scenery, and leave the roads with only light orbs at night (they make for some spectacular effects).

Anyone tried to tinker with vector autogen than can help me out?
