• 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.

MSFS20 Polygons are no longer working correctly! (MSFS 2020 SDK 0.7)

Hullo! is anyone else still having issues - or has found solutions for Polygon textures and priorities in the SDK. I know the last post her was back inn November but I have not found any other threads on this issue here or on other Forums.
I am creating an airport where there used to be a WW2 airport but presently there is no airport in the Sim.
I want to draw grass over the whole area but if I do a big polygon with grass texture is draws it as semi transparent over the existing ground and over the top of the runways - so makingthe runway grass green instead of concrete colour.
I have tried adjusting priorities but this has little effect. It moved the textures for overlapping polygons over or under each other but does not put the grass polygon under the runway.
I am using SDK 0.9.0.
 
By poly you mean a scenery polygon? Another method might be to use aprons. Asobo does this a lot with stock airports
 
Thanks for quick reply.
Yes I mean scenary polygons. I saw the discussion about using aprons above.
I could us Aprons but then the Aprons would have to be drawn around 30 circular dispersal aprons around the airport and about 15Km of runways and taxiways instead of just one polygon under the whole area. Also I dont think one can draw an apron over/next to an runway or taxiway without it joining up - I will try that.
I think the solution may be somehow editing the transparency property and logics/poriority of the textures with respect to the ground inmage and the runways.
 
Good evening,

I also had the same issue with the polygons used for terraforming, they had no effect when compiled and loaded into the simulator.
I was able to solve this problem in my case by raising their priority to a minimum of 50.
