• 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 Disappearing helipad surface

Folks, I have a helipad at a certain altitude sitting on a flatten with the same altitude. However from low angles, or from a distance, the helipad texture disappears. We've tried lowering the flatten and raising the helipad (including start location) exaggerated amounts and the problem still occurs. Any ideas?
 
Is this FSX? We know that XML generated Helipads can suffer from the same problem as generic buildings in FSX - that is they do not sit on the ground. The work around is to use library objects to represent the helipad. This is fine since the XML is generating only the visual model and you need a Start to make them 'work'
 
Thanks, Jon. Because I want my helipads to work in Heli Traffic 2009, I believe I need a helipad within the AFCAD. So I used an FSX helipad object, and made a 1m square helipad in ADE, which doesn't appear in the sim. That worked.

Thanks for your help!

Jon
