• 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 Polygon Holes with Model ConvertX (SOLVED)

Yes, I made it in ADE, then converted it with the MCX Ground Poly Wizard to a BGL.
And, lo siento, but I am going to watch 'futbol' once more (Germany against Italy):).

Problem Solved:

I divided the polygon in my object on two polygons and the triangle holes disappeared.


I think it's an error in 3dsmax.

I notice if you have a plane longer than 1,000 meters in FSX P3D It starts acting up I can't explain it.
I fixed it simply by slicing the plane into segments.

For example, my runway is 50x3000 meters, I slice it into 5 segments using the cut tool
or by using the division option when you first make the polygon.

The only problem that remains is the separation between polygons when I activate the "Group Polygons 500 meters" but this problem is in another post on this forum

Result:

I've been raging against this problem today, trying to convert some stuff to P3D from FS9. This thread (and Alfredo's persistence) was helpful.

However I think it's not FSX or P3D that is acting up, but the GPW Slice Polygon algorithm. If you create the ground poly using the GPW, and then immediately load the new bgl (import) into MCX, you will see the vertices are messed up. To me that says there is evidently something in the Slice Polygon algorithm that is not quite working.

I agree it's a bug in MCX but I haven't been able to reproduce it easily. For now making sure the input polygons are not too big is the best solution.
 
Maybe this bug only happens to scenery areas on the South/West Lat Lon, negatives values.

I don't think that's the case. I have seen it on other locations as well.
