• 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.

Scaling default objects.

The default Canterbury Cathedral is not only in the wrong position but has the wrong orientation and scale.

I can exclude the default and position it correctly but if I scale it to a more correct size (1.125), the textures display incorrectly. With a scale of 1.0 they display correctly.

Has anyone any idea why this may be so?

BTW, during positioning the scaled model with Instant Scenery which uses OpenGL, the textures display correctly :confused:

Scale 1.0



Scale 1.125



This is the position code:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<FSData
   version="9.0"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">
   <ExclusionRectangle
      latitudeMinimum = "51.2778553"
      latitudeMaximum = "51.2806221986481"
      longitudeMinimum = "1.0816320"
      longitudeMaximum = "1.08458070275987"
      excludeAllObjects = "TRUE"
   />
   <SceneryObject
      lat="51.2797993049026"
      lon="1.08274832367897"
      alt="0.0M"
      altitudeIsAgl="TRUE"
      pitch="0"
      bank="0"
      heading="9.99755859375"
      imageComplexity="NORMAL">
      <LibraryObject
         name="{9417abf4-6cdb-48f6-af49-307d7f95e5c5}"
         scale="1.125"
         />
   </SceneryObject>
</FSData>

Edit. I should have said I am using FSX/Acceleration.

Hi,

That's weird, it seems some polygons are untextured, but on the others the texture looks OK. I have not heard of such problems with scaling before.

I'll try to reproduce it with your code later.
 
Thanks Arno, I know of a few people with the scrambled texture on the scaled model.

I think it worked in FSX RTM.
 
I also have Acceleration Pack installed, so it would be interesting to see if I get the same results. But that would be tomorrow, it is time to go offline for today.
 
Hi,

Same problem here, so it seems to be either a bug of the object or of FSX itself. I am trying to find out in which library the object is contained now.
 
OK, found it in the landmarks library. It seems the object uses volume shadows, maybe that has something to do with the issue? Sounds like an FS bug to me.
