• 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.

First of all thanks for this very nice tool! :)

I have a problem though which I cannot solve yet:

How can I force FSX to flatten? I have a complex water-polygone (a bay) and I want it to be complete flat. But fsx doesn't flatten like it's supposed to. Some parts of the bay are still rather hilly.
How can I fix this?

Make a local flat mesh for this area.

Or change FlattenMode of hydro polygons in terrain.cfg

Draw a polygon with the tag Airport_Backgrounds_Flatten in your bay and it will flatten the bay to the elevation you specify.

Thanks, that seems to work. Maybe I confused something, because it's now working fine all along. :)

Oh, just another thing: at the edges of my flatten I have some peaky hills that weren't there without the flatten. Is there some way to get rid of those (except of course widening the flatten)?

I am not sure what you are meaning. I guess I would have to see it to fully understand. ??

Are you working at sea level?
