• 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.

Error when compiling road traffic

Hi Holger,

Thanks, being in Line tool mode indeed was the trick. Now the export works fine.

Hi guys,
As for making traffic vectors from roads there's actually a simple trick if you're only dealing with a few roads: make a duplicate of the road vector, right-click on it to assign a width (e.g., "6" for a typical minor road), then right-click on it again and convert to a polygon, then select the polygon to "Make Line" and, voila!, you have two perfectly parallel lines that you can assign traffic type and direction to.
Cheers, Holger

I got this tip from you in the past and that's what I always use. Works well. I also create a second copy, set width, and convert to poly set as maskclassmap excludeautogen to create the right of way underlayment/encasement. I actually like this better than UTX method of creating a terrain id for a vector for it, since that results in lines on lines and one thing about SBX it is almost impossible to edit lines on lines (or least I have never found reliable way to select specific lines and points of lines). I need to do this for instance on extrusions bridges where I want to break the road but keep the traffic.
