• 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.

Are fences still a problem?

...if so, maybe I have found a solution? I do recall that the visibility through fences have been discussed before, but when I created my own I discovered that the see-through works just like it should - neither objects nor my own aircraft is invisible through the fences. This might be common knowledge by now, but I created a gmax box with narrow sides, removed the sides, textured those that where left (the faces of the fence) and exported. Since the backsides of each face are non-textured, I guess that you in some way fool the graphics engine of FS2004 so that objects are visible through the fence. If this is interesting, I´d be happy to provide more info.

Hans,
the only thing I wanted to ask is what type of textures do You use for Your fences, DXT1 or DXT3? If You use DXT1, then I am not surprised that You do not have any problems. I don't have them either :) And really, thank You for the tip!

Best regards,
 
Hi Goran!

Well, in a way it´s good to know that I´m not the first!

Checking my texture in ImageTool right now, it´s a DXT3 texture that I´ve used... :scratchch

It depends on the size of your fence I think. The bleedthrough problem is caused by problems with the distance to the RefPoint. So if you only have a small fence the chance of trouble is small.
