• 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.

Hello,

i'm trying to create a LOD model for my tower. I read the tutorial in the wiki.

here is my main code:

Code: 
header label word
    dw      0001            ; 00 World set number   
    dd      000507448H          ; 02 North bound        
    dd      000507440H          ; 06 South bound        
    dd      00DB1C815H          ; 10 East bound         
    dd      00DB1C813H          ; 14 West bound         
    dw      20 dup(0)                               
    dd      (offset OBJECT_DATA) - (offset header)
    dw      33 dup(0)

Whats the problem with it? In FS only visible the tower_1_0.asm model and the other one never.
 
Hi,

First, is there a good reason why you still use the Fs2002 gamepack for this? In general it would be best to use the Fs2004 gamepack.

Now to the problem, the code looks correct. Are you sure that the values you used are realistic? It could be that the condition never fails.

Hmm yeah, maybe the values are the problems. But i found another way to do lods (with dummys).

Are you sure that the 3D objects exported with FS2004 gamepack produce better FPS?
 
They seems to give slightly better performance in general, although it depends on a lot of factors of course (like always).

Also it is obviously a better path for the future.
