• 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.

Has anyone managed to get a good resolution on Taxi Lines using Ground Polys? Even tho i tried 512x512 like a lot of people right here suggests. I still get a bad anti-aliasing implementation. Which i do not see on any other big payware airports.

What's the usual approach nowadays?.

Apron + Painted Lines?
Ground Poly for all?
Ground Poly + Painted Lines?

Thx

Apron + Painted Lines should work the best. Honestly I don't see the need of making ground polys from 3ds max or Blender for instance for simple ground markings. It's just extra work for not much difference.

Thx for your reply.
You still think is the best way to go?.
still the best for service roads, pedestrian markings, etc?.
I've been trying to use Sim tools, and for some reason i found it super clunky when you need to draw lots of painted lines (edge service, dashed, white, yellow, pedestrian, etc)

I think max for instance has tools that could make this easy plus the copy and paste, arrays, duplicate, etc. But I wonder if you might have issues after exporting it using projected mesh and such. I haven't tried that yet but so far having the ability to directly edit within the sim is nice though.
