• 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.

Traffic on 3d roads instead of terrain

Hey guys!

For the last couple of months I've been experimenting with photogrammetry. I managed to take about 2.000 pictures (probably way too many, but I was learning something new every time I took of) with my Mavic 3 of the town I live in, cleaned that up, split it in tiles, createed LODs and imported that into the sim. It's been a journey but it's finally working, even on my mid tier machine.

Now I'm wondering whether I can get traffic on top of my photogrammetry model's roads. The model matches the terrain underneath very closely, but obviously not perfectly. That's why cars driving on the terrain underneath aren't visible or clipping through the model at best. So I'd basically like to define a road in the sim, so that cars drive on the photogrammetry roads.

Or would I have to exclude roads from the photogrammetry? How is asobo handling this? Do they keep roads in the photogrammetry of cities, or do they exclude them? It would obviously save on texture and mesh complexity to not have it included in the model. But I'd also be a pain to remove them :D

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
