• 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.

MSFS Redraw Water Polygons

Hello everyone, when redrawing water polygons, as the SDK says, it is not possible to overlap them.

"IMPORTANT! Polygons of the same water type do not merge! If you have overlapping polygons of the same type they will cancel each other out and create what appears to be an exclusion area, only without the correct distance field feathering. So, avoid overlapping polygons unless you are creating an exclusion area or they are different types."
Click to expand...

For my part, my workflow is the following: when I redraw a polygon large enough, since I cannot do it all in one work session I divide it into parts then where there is the joint I put on another polygon (with higher priority) to cover. The additional anomaly is that I cannot use the same type of "water" as the two below... in fact then in the final result this anomaly is very noticeable.

I ask you if anyone has found an alternative method to overcome this limitation.

Regards
