• 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.

P3D v4 Texture flickering and shape is not correct as the actual ground polygon.

Hello,

I made a ground polygon using Sketchup and I got few several problems. I can place it correctly without no problems at the location I want but what my main problem is that at the end the GP extends and flickers which makes it look very bad. I dont know if I have any mistakes while exporting the GP but I have left the pictures where it shows how I export as well.

I have left some screenshots within my Sketchup program, Model converter X as well as what it displays in the simulator. As you might be aware I am new so if you could explain it in a more simple way it will be amazing thank you very much !

Is your airport really at almost 3 km altitude? Entering a wrong altitude value gives a wrong calculation of the curve of the earth and can result in flickering issues.

Affirm, I got the airport elevation from ADE which I compiled an BGL for too, to get rid of the runway and default taxiways..

Bulent, You have to convert 2,795 feet into meters. You can do this quickly by changing your settings in ADE to meters and then seeing what the airport altitude is.
