• 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.

Hey,
I created a new GP, but unfortunatly it is flickering and can only be completely seen from a few hundred feets away.
Any solution?

Are you certain the complete area it covers is flat?

Did you enter same flatten altitude when compiling, to 3 decimal places.

Also, there is not something else altering the altitude there, e.g. orbx vector?

Thanks, I thought I had a flatten polygon applied to the airport. Apparently, it wasnt the case and after I applied a flatten polygon the problem is gone.

Interesting side note.

MCX warns in red on GPW, 'enter absolute altitude'. I always leave it at zero and never have an issue in p3dv4

Hello:

IMHO, it is important to clarify what I believe Arno means if he continues to use a term "Absolute" altitude in MCX' GP Wizard: :pushpin:

Got it I think.

It will place it on the ground if left at zero, but earth curve may be wrong. I am working on airport near sea level, so probably not noticing any big difference in earth curve corrections when left at zero.
