• 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.

Well it will depend on where in the world the airport is and what season I think
 
Thank you Jon

Problem is that the airport is in Greece and have set Time and Season for August .
In actual fact the apron is green when l start FSX and turns brown after a few minutes .:confused:
Should l re-install ADE ?

No ADE is not involved in this. It will generate a bgl file telling FSX to draw a grass apron. It is then up to FSX to determine which texture to use depending on the season and location.
 
Repair FSX then ?

Well only if this behavior is not correct. Are you saying you expect the grass to stay green? Or do you want it brown all the time? It seems to me that the texture for grass in Greece in Summer will be brown.

Not exactly , but l have tried Spring as well and l get the same results .
Something must be wrong somewhere . Some of the land classes also do not appear properly in FSX .
For example l place a poly of Large city urban grid dry , and l get only part of it in 3D reperesentation , the remainder is a trace only .
l remember when l had v.1.45 installed including the updates to get to v01.47.07 , l had no such problems . l noticed them when l downloaded
and installed the newer full version

Well I really can't see how this can be ADE because it just generates code that is converted into bgl file for the Sim. We did not change the way the code is generated between 1.45 and 1.47.

Is it just in this area of the world that you get problems in other parts?

Does the landclass/ background show problems only with ADE modified airports or do stock one show the same problems?
 
George,
I wonder if this is possibly a Graphic card issue, or more than likely the the way the graphics are drawn in FSX, or even a Graphic setting in FSX...
I've had this many, many times, I've seen the same as you, brown apron!!
I pan around the airport then return to the same apron and it's green....
 
Thanks and sorry for late reply .
Windows 7 64 bit can be a ...pain sometimes so l repaired FSX and set it's compatibility and that of ADE and the grass problem was solved .

A Happy New Year to all .
