• 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.

Best way to elevate a mountain to meet a 3DS platform

Hi,

I have this 3DS scenery on the top of the mountain. The reason it was made on a small 3DS elevation platform is that the 3DS infrastructures are not flat

Now I thought if I can create a small mesh file or any sort of way to make the FSX mountain rise and envelope/hide the 3DS platform as per the yellow area drawn on the screenshot...

I already tried to create flatten polygons with specific elevations but they create all kind of bizarre elevation spikes

Any specific best practice to achieve that ?

Not sure if it will work, but ModelConverterX can export a mesh as a flatten BGL. But then it would have exactly the same shape as the 3ds model.
