• 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.

FSXA LOD problems

  • Do you have volume shading enabled for the materials?

No.

And it's actually nothing more than a cylinder with one half deleted and the other one deformed to make the grass cover. Do you think this might be an issue?

That sounds like it should not give any issues. I am afraid I have run out of ideas by now :).

Well, me too.

Is there a database here for abandoned projects?
I'd just throw the source files in there for someone else to figure out this stuff and finish up the models.
 
Okay, problem solved. Seems like the model didn't like its night textures or bump map or something. I reset the materials and added only the diffuse texture et voilà...fixed.



And since I cut down the hangar's polycount to 3000 for the open one and ~1400 for the closed one I'll just leave the LODs out. Except of course the performance on final gets abyssimal, then I might rethink things. :)
 
Hmmmm .. doesn't really make sense ... but if it's fixed.

So long as you don;t have too many objects the sim wll easily cope with that many polys. You probably wouldn;t want a large airport with that many objects.

The HASs are intended for use on military aiports and thus, there's always at least 20 of 'em around.
