• 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,

It could be a label. But given the weird coordinates, it could also be a faulty decompile.

I can't find more info about the command in the scasm documentation. It seems to follow the bgl header directly. It still seems a bit funny to me.

the readme.hmtl of SCDIS has the only info about FlattenPoly:

"
...
Ver 2.2 2002/2/3
Re-written with C++.
Support compressed BGL of FS2000/2002.
Generate only 1 file for result output.
-multi option added.
New command:
- FlattenPoly (but SCASM/FreeSC does not support it...)

....
"

but the bgl seems to be created by scasm 2.91 ...

is it a fs2002 bgl?

Hi,

Ah, that explains why I could not find it.

It could also be a pre-FS2002 bgl file. But to be sure I would need to check the file.
