• 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.

Unexpected Polygon

Hello,
I tried to make a simple Polygon with FSX_KML.
I used this KML:

Instead of the normal Polygon I get two tiles with a hole with the form of my real Polygon. You see it in the attached picture from TmfViewer.
This white thing between the green squares is actually my Polygon.

Can someone help help me?

Thank you and a happy new year.

If you keep zooming in while in TmfViewer you can position the mouse cursor close enough to get coordinates for the green line going from right to left. Then edit you KML file to get rid of the inner green area.
 
Thank you,
but at least I only had to cut the part of the poly which was below the upper square.
