• 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.

FS2004 FS Library Objects distance of view - LODs

Hi everybody how are you doing?

Trying to clarify, using the annotator I've add and placed some custom libraries. They disappear too early for me. if I place the same object with XML it can be seen by very far away. Probably library objects have an empty LOD_100 or something, whereas XML placed objects has LOD_100 with full geometry. But I can't figure a way of change the lib objects LODs, because they are not compiled when you place them with annotator, they are just like autogen buildings.

Going directly to the question, as I said, default and custom library objects tends to disappear earlier than placed XML objects, even when using the same bgl library to do so. Is there any way to increase the distance of a library object, that actually will be placed just like an autogen object? :confused:

Cheers,

Poyares

Hi,

When you say custom placed library object, you mean autogen placed right? Autogen objects indeed have a shorter visibility than XML placed objects. I don't think you can change it, that is one of the reasons autogen performs better.
