• 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.

FSXA 3DS Array Problems

Ok,

yesterday I had a problem, like I posted here, http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forums/modelconverterx.87/

but today everything has worked fine, all from scratch UNTIL I have made a geometry plane and used the "array" from menu tools.

After that everything I am compiling with MCX look like a triangle when I load the bgl at MCX to preview.

Even if I delete this array, even if I create anything from scratch, same problem.


Thanks
 
Hi,

Maybe you can explain a bit more what you are doing? Are you using the GPW in MCX or just compiling as a normal object for example?
 
OK,

1-plane, centered, editable poly, flat earth coordinates to place the plane at right place
2-at plane inserting background image
3-adding grid aligned with backgrounds image runway, grid top view, activate grid
4-a simple plane alike runway, textured with an 1024x1024 texture

now if I export selected, this or make other geometry planes whatever, everything works fine, export, export selected etc, but if I

5-add above the runway plane, a small plane that represent a runway center line, texturing this line with an image 1024x1024 and using unwrap to adjust and then
6-use the array to place more instance planes from this centerline plane

everything after that, everything I export selected, look good at MCX but when using the ground poly wizard everything looks like a triangle, the rwy plane for example is centered at grid and is looking like triangle. It doent matter if I export them all together or selected.

This is happening again if I delete the array, if I group, or not group the array, is happening if I make again everything from scratch by selecting all new.

Had this problem yesterday and today no more, after I made an array, again the same.
 
In the bgl made by the GPW there are probably multiple object. Some can be a triangle others are more complex. So can you try to cycle through them? This is because of the split function.
 
You are right, there are 2 objects but how?

What can I do and why is this happening when I do everything from scratch and not adding an array?


Thanks
 
This is how the wizard works, nothing to worry about. It will cut the object into pieces for better performance. In FS it will all show as one runway again.
