• 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.

FS2004 Overlapping Tiles

My scenery project includes photo-real tiles for an area around the subject airport. The geographical area takes in a coastline on an island. I decided to expand the photo-real area but I it seemed better to do the additional tiles as a second scenery bgl to avoid rendering a large number of empty tiles over the ocean. So, what I ended up with is two scenery bgl files with a few overlapping tiles. I wonder if I will run into problems. I haven’t noticed any issues when testing the scenery so I’m wondering if I can get away with this overlap and avoid doing a more precise do over. Advice would be appreciated.

Hi Greg, as long as you put your new scenery tiles in a different scenery folder there won't be any conflict between the old scenery files and the new. (it impotent where you place them in the library)
if you put them in the same folder it can make some conflict. mainly it depends in there name order in the folder.

also it very impotent to notice which LOD you use.
if your airport texture use higher LOD then your added scenery BGL , the airport tiles will come above (even if you place your new scenery above the airport).
the opposite will happen if your added scenery using a higher LOD then the airport (and the airport is sit above your added scenery on the library)

if you notice that when you get a new scenery for airport there some time that you get to folder
Airport scenery folder
and airport_LC folder

what I'm doing from time to time, If I have conflict between the airport aerial imagery and my photoscenery.
I'm going the the airports scenery folder and isolating the aerial photoscenery of the airport. that way only my photoscenery will be shown

Felix, the two bgl files were in the same scenery folder. Even though I have not noticed a problem, I decided to consolidate my photo-real tiles into a single bgl to avoid any potential conflicts. Thanks for your advice.
