• 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.

Hi,

the following element is driving me crazy at the moment:
HRG_ramp.jpg


I need to map the sides of the ramp so they are completely flat, but I have not found the right way to get a planar mapping for the sides...which does not result in a distorted map :-(
Maybe someone of you can help me? If required I can also send you a model file!

Thanks in advance
 
Trying to map the ramp sides with a planar mapping gives a distorted map because the objects are distorted from being straight. The trick is to un-distort them and then map. Perhaps you built them straight and then curved the shape to that shown? In that case you map them before curving. Alternatively, using modifiers, 'straighten' the ramp sides, map and unwrap them, then disable the modifiers. You'll find the basis of this in the following Wiki resource:– UVW Mapping in Gmax part 6
