• 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.

Creating small patches of grass

Hello,

I would like to create small patches of grass around objects such as bumper posts. I tried using a vegetation polygon, but it only appears to add vegetation if the polygon is sufficiently large (say, a few meters). Is that not the correct approach? Would it be necessary to create grass as a PBR material instead?

Thanks,
Peter
 
Try an apron:

Hello Dick,

thanks a lot for the suggestion. I tried it out this morning and it works nicely while I am in the development editor. However, the grass patch disappears when I create a package. My guess is that this happens because I do not delete the apron of the default scenery (airport CYOH. I delete everything else, but the apron looks nice enough to keep it). I tried to change the priority of the grass patch, which is supposed to sit on top of the default apron. However, no value between -6 and +6 made the grass visible again.

Thanks again,
Peter
 
Thanks again for your suggestion, Dick. I now used Airport2Project to extract the default MSFS aprons and added them to the project, together with the small apron for grass patches, and that did the trick.
