FSX Groundpoly is sinking into ground

[seelenkrieger]

Good afternoon hope someone could help me.
my texture is sinking into the ground.

its far away looking so next is zoom steps

Here is the ADE Flatten

and MCX Prior setting

also tried to set the ground texture 1m above ground no change

if you need other settings let me know
To you have any ideas?

It's because MCX cuts it up and places the origin on each part on areas which aren't at airport altitude.

Export it again and untick group polygons.

You can save the settings and reload them using the top right hand side buttons, saves a LOT of hassle.

It is often happen to me as well. You need to make sure that all the surface of the airfield is in the same height. Even though you set up flatten, sometimes FSX refuse to flatten to that height (don't know why either). You need TcalX and slew through the airfield. If you have to choose one point that higher than the rest and then flatten it again in ADE using that height. The problem will go away.

Shaun thanks for both tips. worked fine

Group polygons can help with autogen suppression. Autogen tree will be suppressed less if this box is checked.

have you solved your problem already? I encounter the same problem like you

Interesting, where can one find TcalX?

You can find TCalcX here http://fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/tcalcx.93/

That happens to me, but if I untick group polygons it creates a big hole line between some polygons:

And using Tcalcx, alt changes from 7.3150005..... to 7.3150002, so I can't change the altitude on model converter because in only accepts 7.3150.

 

[jtanabodee]

Try something like 7.316 and see if it helps.

did it... even tried 8.000, if I untick group polygons that hole always appears. But I'm suspicious that It's a problem with my laptop. I'll try on my other PC.
