• 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.

Placing grass as autogen

Hello everybody!

According to the P3Dv4.2 Changlog you can place grass as autogen.
In the autogendescriptions.xml you can already find the entry for the grass. However, it has a strange GUID (0000-0000-0000-0000) and nothing is displayed in the sim.

Has anyone managed to plant the grass yet, and if so, how does that work?

Thank you already in advance!
Kind regards

Hmm, I tried the GUID D80C52D8-A4E5-4055-820A-29B12E8372EF, but without success, nothing gets displayed.

But let me try something out tomorrow, maybe I've got an idea.

That GUID refers to the Speedtrees backyard grass clump model. It is visible if one places the model with ADE, but whether it works as autogen is still a mystery. It's possible that one has to include it in the ST autogen file and have ST vegetation active in P3d4. I've never read a description of someone mixing "billboard" and ST vegetation models as autogen, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

Keep in that this ST grass model is small and is probably visible only at close range, like the ORBX grass models.

Ok, thank you for your answers, i have figured out how to place the grass.
Anyway, I think I won't use it because it is a bit too small...

Thank you anyway!
