• 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.

Hello guys.

I wanna ask the experts about creating sceneries.

There is this wonderful freeware scenery called "qeqqataX" from flightsim.gl to fsx.

I have "one small, tiny" issue with it, And I dont know how to fix this issue.

this scenery package has 3 airports, BGMQ, BGSS, BGSF, the first to are working wonderfully, but the last one, BGSF, I'm having these terrain elevation mesh problems on the runway.

do one of you guys happens to now how to fix it?

please see the pictures below

Do you have other addons for the area? How does it look when you deactivate them or change the order in the scenery library as a quick test?
Other than that you will probably need a new flatten polygon for the airport.
 
I do have other addons for the area like vector etc, but when I deactivate them, the scenery is still the same.
on the earlier versions of p3d, like version 3. when I change the order the scenery library, the problem use to solve, but not on p3dv4.

Can you maybe please show me how I can flatten polygons? please notice, i am very, very new to creating and editing sceneries, I don't have eny experiences other than using them. :D

kind regards
Nuka
 
Hi,

Try to import the airport bgl's into ADE, then add a flatten and see what that gives.
It could also be that there is a cvx.bgl active (that is not per se called that way!) that could also hamper your efforts.
Attached a screenshot of the yellow colored flatten made when clicking on the green 'add polygon', draw your polygon and then choose 'airport background' tagged 'flatten'.

Cheers,

I had a quick check in P3Dv3 and ended up with the same issue after it worked last time when I added it to the library.
I found there are two cvx files for that area and it may be possible they mess up each other.
Also did you add the bgl files for Scenery\World\Scenery in P3dv4?
 
The other thing to check is that your flattens are not at different altitudes. I've seen a very similar problem when my flatten has been set higher than both the airport reference altitude and the surrounding terrain - the flatten doesn't work because it never touches the ground.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I have this problem and I wondered if you eventually fixed it?
 
Hello,
I am using this scenery with P3D V5.3 HF2
This scenery is GREAT. You only need to add with ADE a terrain polygon type "Airport Background" and "Flatten Mask Class Map ExcludeAutogen Smooth" just around BGSF.

Gook luck...
