• 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 Airport ground polygon gap lines

Hi there,
I made an airport photo ground polygon with GMAX, for mapping the textures (1024x1024px), I used UVW Map for each polygon . I did not have a trouble on FS9 but in FSX, the gap lines between polygons appeared clearly .
What did they come from : either Mapping or export problem ? I'm using MCX for export ground polygon and I've also set the altitude for my ground polygon at the same elev. with in afcad file .

This is usually due to mipmaps and mapping close to the edge.

Pull your mapping in from each corner by 5px.

Alternatively, you can remove mipmaps, but this will create visual artefacts in most circumstances.

Are you talking about re-mapping the texture with UVW Map for each polygon ? For each polygon when I use UVW Map, it shows the map aeria is 1025.24x1025.24 in meters . I tried to remap it to 1024x1024m but the gap lines still there .

Hi,

You need to map the texture so that the outer 1 or 2 pixels are not used. That will fix the problem. So instead of going from 0 to 1, your UV coordinates should go from 0.002 to 0.998.

Maps are expressed as fractional units (ie from 0.00 to 1.00, as Arno has)

Are you perhaps referring to the size of the geometry that carries the mapped texture?

Thanks all,
I've mapped all textures again with Unwrap and re-position the vertexes . It worked fine now :) I don't know why in FS9, I don't need to do these steps but it still work ;)

Hi,

In fs2004 we had this issue already as well, I can't remember if it was less severe than in fsx.
