• 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.

How to exclude stock roads and lights?

Hi all,
I have modelled a UK pier which has a road running along its length. In the sim the Bing Maps/MSFS roads and lighting ruin
the effect of my pier at night. Is there any way I can exclude the road and its streetlamps, which are sunken beneath the water?.
I tried an exclude polygon but there is no option available which covers roads or lights.

cheers
Stinger

I am not sure we can do this for now. Roads and lights I suppose are part of a vector data and this part is still not available in the SDK docs
 
Hi Stinger,

the vector roads will disappear if you place a polygon with a surface material over them. There are a few in the stock list that are near-transparent and without an obtrusive pattern so experiment and pick the one that works for you.

As Claviateur states, excluding the hovering point lights isn't possible yet.

Cheers, Holger

Ok thanks. I will try that.

Hi Andrea,

unfortunately not. Both light orbs and powerline towers have been acknowledged by Asobo as requiring custom exclude options but no sign of that in SDK updates yet.

Cheers, Holger
