• 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 Ground poly problem

Hi guys, have been practicing scenery for a long time but have finally decided to do a full scenery and am having a problem with ground polys. At a certain point the polys disappear when I get close but when I get further away they come back. I have a flatten active in the area and in 3ds max I have the object at 0.0. And I also have tweaked the asm files. Please if anyone knows I would really appreciate it as its really frustrating me.

Hi,

It is a bit hard to see what happens from the screenshots. Do the polygons completely disappear or does it more seem that they go into the ground?

The last more sounds like a flatten problem, while the first could also be a wrong radius value (v2 value) in the reference point.
 
Hi,

Just saw your PM, where you described that they show in the distance and close to you, but some part in between is missing.

That sounds like a flatten problem. Did you already double check that the flatten altitude is the same as the altitude in the XML file of the airport (in the AFCAD)?
 
Yes I have checked the flatten, and have tried changing the altitude to see if that makes any difference but the problem is still there, Im thinking maybe I didnt extend the flatten area long enough so maybe Ill try re doing it?
 
Sorry guys, my mistake. Finally got it was an issue with the flatten. re did the flatten and all is well now. Thanks for the help arno :D
