• 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 Objects don't shade ground

Hello :)

Years ago i already created scenery. This is an old picture, as you can see the fence shades the ground correctly.

Today I installed the whole system again, after a long break. I go back to creation. Everything works, but one thing: Elements do no longer shade the ground, see:

You guys have any idea what this could be about?
PS : Just found out, the error must come from fsx, not from outside. When I place Elements from the SDK itself, it doesn’t work either.

I got:
Windows Vista 32bit
FSX Professional + Acceleration
Installed SDK, SDK Update 1+2
GMAX 12
LibraryCreatorXML 2.0.3
SceneryShortcut (doesn't mind, the shading doesn't appear already when creating scene)
And DXTBmp for textures.

Thank you!

Hi,

Maybe a stupid question, but in the options of FSX you have enabled the option that scenery casts shadow on the ground?
 
Hello Arno

of course i didn't. Thank you, now it works.
Impressed, that this function was disabled by default.

@Tejal. Yes, was my first though also, but as an airplane is not a scenery, it is clear ;)

Problem solved, thanks Arno!!!
