• 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.

runway over highway road problem

Hi guys. The airport I'm trying to build has an area where the taxiway and runway cross over a highway road but it's impossible to have it rendered correctly since the road shows as it has higher priority than the objects above it. You can see the horrible results in the picture below.

I've tried everything but unfortunately nothing works, neither the zbias_x_material_name approach, nor the platforms, asm tweaking nothing! :banghead: and I'm about to go crazy.

Anyone can help me please with this difficult task since it's vital for the continuity of the project.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I assume you made the highway in GMax, but how did you make the runway? If the runway has been made with XML code (AFCAD) then it is impossible to get it above the highway. You would have to make a gap in your highway or so.

Yes actually it has to be made with gmax since they are of better texture quality than the default ones. Also there's a mlittle land strip along the rwys and taxi ones that has to cross over the highway as in the real world.

If I cannot do it so unfortunately the project goes awry.

Any help with that please?

you need to make the runway in gmax also, use the fs2002 makemdl and set the layer of the runway to 24.

But what is wrong with just removing the part of the highway that should be covered by the runway? Just make a gap in your model, I expect that should give the same result and you can keep using the XML-style runway command.
