• 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 Satellite Image Recently Hidden by Object/Polygon?

So, I've been slowly noodling on a local airport that needed buildings, etc. When you spawned in, you could see the tops of the buildings via the satellite images, but the buildings weren't there. I have been building models in Blender and importing them to have accurate hangars, tower, etc. Having the satellite image allowed me to size, rotate, and place the buildings accurately.

However, when I got into it today, the whole airport is covered by a grass-textured polygon that won't go away even when I open my project. I enabled "Debug Shapes" I can see the polygon edged in red:

When I check off "Draw Type" under the vector data debug, I see the following:

And when I click on the Draw Package Name option, It, along with every other polygon in the area are labelled "fs-base"

anyone know where this comes from and if it is possible to Hide/Modify/Delete? I'd like to have the satellite image back at east while I am modelling and placing objects and buildings.

Thank you!
 
It looks like you have your data streaming turned off. The whole world looks like that without it pretty much.

Well, full points, Superspud. Apparently the update toggled the "Online Functionality" option. I was in the sim when I got notification about the updated packages. I wonder if that's why it happened to me.
