• 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.

Join selected parts

Under the Parts menu in fsds is a "join selected" option. I have used it and it's nice if you have a design you are sure is finished and don't want the parts to ever get mixed up again. But I was wondering if doing this can ease the frame rates a bit. Eg., I created a parking garage with about 300 parts, will the sim now see it as 1 part and use less system resources to draw it?
Thanks, Larry
 
There are many here with a better knowledge of the workings of the graphic engine, but I do not believe that joining all parts will help with frame rates, it is my understanding that the frame rates are more influenced by the total number of polygons and by the number of textures that the object uses, to help with frame rates delete any unneeded polygon, (ones that are on the inside of your object and not seem) and by the number of textures, so use as few texture as possible. Having said that I think joining parts is still a useful feature and I use it a lot. Mostly when making apart that will be merged to a second part later. Something else you may like to do is save your project first then select join and resave but change the name, this way if you discover you need to go back and make a change to you project you can always go back to the un-joined version.
