• 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.

FSX Cannot get ground poly into FSX

I made a ground poly using Sketchup and imported/exported to FSX with modelconverter ground poly wizard. But now when I go to the airport containing the ground poly, FSX has stopped working. It does the same with P3D.
Any ideas?
 
Hi,

And if you remove the ground polygon bgl the problem is solved? Crashes are often caused by corrupt bgl files. You might want to check if there were any warnings during compiling.

Hi,

Removing the groundpoly .bgl does fix the problem. And the event log is empty.
 
How big is the bgl file that is being made?

It sounds like something went wrong while making the bgl file.
 
Can you set the option to keep the scasm file on export? And then send me the scasm file? Then I can hopefully see what is going wrong.

I sent the file to you in a private message.

Thanks, I'll check it.
 
Hi,

Sorry for the delay, but I had a look at the file now.

Did you use a layer number of -1 for some of your polygons? I think that is causing the crash. I get errors when I compile the SCASM file, so that's why the BGL made is not valid.

No, all the layers are 0. What kind of errors are in the SCASM file?
 
It seems the labels with the - sign in them give the issues. They can't be compiled. Let me check again.
 
What are things that can and can't be done with groundpolys? There is something I did that won't let it work.
 
Hi,

Do you have the KMZ or DAE file for me that you used to import? Maybe I can reproduce the problem then.
 
Hi,

I think I see what is going on. It seems this happens when you make a material without texture change with seasons. I'll fix that bug.
 
I think I can solve it like this, if that still doesn't work I'll ask for the file again.

What you can do now already is disable the seasons for the materials that start their name with color. Than it should work. In the bug fix I'll prevent that the invalid code can be made.
 
Hi,

I have fixed the bug now. So if you grab the latest development release tomorrow it should not happen again.
