• 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.

MCX export - Placement shift

Hi all,

Having some issues I can't seem to resolve. Using MCX's Ground poly wizard, things look fine, however further away from the origin point there's a noticeable shift from where the poly is supposed to be, the largest being nearly 6 meters.

I know this is most likely due to MCX modifying the polys for earth curve correction. However this creates a lot of problems for other models relying on precise placement around the ground poly, such as volumetric grass, taxisigns, runway lighting, etc. It also, as seen in screenshot, misaligns itself with the photoreal ground.

Is there a method to correct this with precision?

Hi,

You would have to correct these other objects for the curve of the earth as well in that case. That should make sure they align correctly.
