• 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.

Elevation of Ground Poly

Hello,

I don't understand why I can't change the elevation of my ground polys made with ADE-GP. They look too high.
I use P3D v4.0, ADE 1.75.6421 and ADE-GP 2.2.16.
I tried with 7, then 1, then 0mm when compiling for Offset GP Elevation. Always the same result. Changed the layer 62 to 25....
Every time I changed something, I started again P3D4.

In this case, the GPs are floating several inches above taxiway elevation, so it's got nothing to do with the few millimeters you can add with the compiler. P3d v3/4 GPs are drawn at airport elevation. In this case, it appears your taxiway elevation is slightly below the ARP elevation - perhaps due to a mis-placed flatten. Also, GPs don't (or shouldn't) case shadows. I have no idea why there are shadows in your case.

If you can't sort this out, I suggest you use FS-8 style polys (compile option).
