• 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.

Never really occurred to me until today but am I started to wonder whether exclusion rectangles work at altitude. There was a problem where a user was missing the bottom half of some buildings. The designer had placed objects on top of one another. The top objects showed up but the lower ones did not. Thus there appeared floating buidlings. The problem seemed to relate to a default bgl which had been modified by another addon. Got me wondering if Excludes only work on objects placed at zero AGL????
 
Good question. I don't think so, but it's worth a try. :)
I think excludes don't look at the altitude of objects, only at the position. But maybe Arno knows more about that. :teacher:
 
Hi Jon,

As far as I know excludes don't look at the altitude. So it should make no difference if an object is floating or not.

But could it be that some of the objects are XML and others are using the pre-Fs2004 non-XML code? These two types have their own excludes, so that could give the effect you describe.
 
Hi Arno
As far as I know the scenery was made using EZ-Scenery so the objects should all be FS9.
 
I think the problem was a default library that had been renamed which removed those objects. The EZ Scenery objects appear to have been added above the defaults, and therefore looked like they were floating.
