• 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.

FSXA Ground Poly Wizard...

Do we still have to have the ground polys sliced every 100m or so? I seem to remember this from before?
I see that the wizard slices it up into many sections anyway.
 
Hi,

The wizard will slice it for you, so no need to do that manually.
 
I have a 3x3 plane which shows splits in the ground polys, despite it being the same texture across them all.

This also causes splits in the layer below, which is asphalt.

Any ideas? I have flattened the area properly.

Does it happen at the edges of your 3x3 plane or where the wizard adds slices?
 
Then it sounds a lot like the texture mapping issue that is often reported. Try to change the texture mapping to not use the outer pixels of the texture.

Or don't split your plane in 9 parts if they all have the same texture.
 
It's the same texture across the planes. I'm experimenting before I put the separate textures on each plane. I assume this problem will still persist then.
 
The same comment applies - you must not use the very outer pixels of your texture.
 
Hey Shaun, is it possible to see a screenshot of how you've set the UVs out in the UV editor? Also, double check that Photoshop hasn't given the texture a soft one pixel edge. When resizing a texture/layer, photoshop will often give the outer pixels some transparency.

If all nine polys are using the same texture, you may as well use one 3x3 poly.

Thanks,
Russ
