• 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.

MSFS 2020 Triangle limitations

Hi all;
I've decided to move on from FSX to FS 2020 for my plane projects. The 2020 SDK recommendations for Triangles is 200k for small, 300k for medium ( Small Passenger Jet) up to 1,000,000 for Jumbo jet.

Here's my question. Not that I'm anywhere near this on the fighter plane I'm building but, if I wanted to use 500k Triangles would this be an issue? Does the Sim know the difference between a Jumbo jet and say a Cessna 172
in terms of it's detail? Would it consider the smaller plane un-optimized? I mean if you can put 1,000,000 in a jumbo jet why would the sim not preform the same with the extremely high detailed smaller plane?

If anyone is pushing these boundaries I like to know and by how much.

Sorry if this has been discussed before but my search did not yield an answer.

Thanks
 
I'd say don't be overly concerned about your poly count, MSFS is very good at processing large numbers of these little buggers.
And no, MSFS doesn't know the difference between a C172 and an A380 when it comes to vertices and triangles.
