• 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.

Landclass change not reflected in the "earth" image

Hi all,

I posted this at AVSIM forum as well, but here it goes again:

I noticed that, as I am making small adjustments in the landclass coverage, the changes are not reflected in the "earth" image, when you zoom out drastically and the Earth globe becomes apparent. It seems that the globe is covered with texture that is derived from landclass info (not the satellite imagery as was the case in FS9) because that coverage varies with seasons... however, modifying landclass does NOT alter the "far-away" landscape. Any idea where this coverage is located and what needs to be done to modify it so that the landclass change is also visible on it?

Hi Misho.

The far views of the earth are "image_globe_??.bgl" in the world/scenery folder. They are photoreal, and have 12 seasons.

You could replace them with new resampled images, but be careful... they can increase framerates significantly.

Thanks Dick! That makes sense! I wonder why they didn't render those with the "proper" (reflective) water. I was thinking of somehow creating a weather layer, but since they are not created on the fly, that makes it look impossible...
