• 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.

What im trying to do i correct FS9 and FSX's big MUGM error in landclass and terrain. It seems the approach to leeward is not accurate as they failed to follow thru on McCalla Field. Believe me i know i served there for 9 years and still do reserve tours there every six months. Im posting two pics one is the McCalla real and the other is image of location from FS9 which looks the same in FSX. Could someone please assit me in getting this corrected please as i have no LC experance.

The screen shot looks to me like FS9? Not FSX-A as in the posts title? Please confirm?

It is likely that those errors have been rectified in FSX as the quality of the geospatial data included in the game has improved considerably.
 
Actually this LC issue is in both FS9 and FSX. The 9.1 patch for FS9 didnt correct this nor did any of FSX's SP packs or acceleration. Im trying to correct this in a common way to allow use in both sims.
 
It is much easier to correct this for FSX...but it wont be backwards compatible with FS9.

For FSX download FSXKML which allows you to digitise a new water polygon in Google Earth, save the KML with the appropriate GUID and then compile into a BGL.
 
Hi,

As Timmo suggests, I think it is easier to fix it by adding some of your own terrain vector polygons to add the detail you want. Landclass is used to define the terrain generically for an area of around 1.2x1.2 km. So that makes it unsuitable for small details anyway.
