• 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.

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    A few trials later, these are the steps taken: 1- Created the LODs in MCX as proposed : 2- Loaded back the XML to see the result. This is the weird step because it should stay 100, 80, etc. 3- Rewrite the XML as proposed by Dick (if my interpretation was right): 4- Check the result in...

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    This is what I did : started with 100 in MCX but when loading it back the XML to check the result, I get another result than 100.

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    On my side, I put the exact same commands to create the LOD but when in the sim, I get a melted object because MCX start with LOD 615 instead of 100. Loading back the XML shows the issue : This is the XML content. It would be nice if we could reedit manualy the LOD in the XML: <?xml...

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    Ok, interesting trick! I was using this method and the objects were desapearing too quickly but I see you are using a very low grid size and not reducing the triangle count for the few first LODs. That is new to me and will try for sure!

    MSFS24 2024 LOD system is horrible, how to get models to stay sharp for a reasonable distance using MCX lod creator

    Hi, I'm following your discussion with interest since I have the same question than Tim: how to use MCX for LOD in the new FS2024 environnement. Testing with a snowmobile here. MCX was doing good until I tested it in the sim. I realised that even if I asked MCX to create LOD 100, 60, etc, when...

    Unable to use the new version

    Mmm! So it's one texture's fault then. I found the way to remove almost all textures, and the faulty one, in Sketchup and everything seam to work, being able to export from Sketchup and load in MCX. Thanks very much Gary and Arno!

    Unable to use the new version

    Thanks Gary! Have you try to export it? It make crash Sketchup on my side but not Blender. I don't know why now and not before (no changes made).

    Building exclusion polygons

    Oh! Tested the scenery after compilation and all default is gone! May it be the correct PackageOrderHint ? Veryyy happy here! After several months of testings... FYI this is a scenery made early in FS2020, updated a lot, converted to FS2024, copied / pasted from original version to do a Winter...

    Building exclusion polygons

    Thanks All for your comments. Observations after your comments : Gliders are Simobjects that are gone with the exclusion rectangle, but not the airport objects. I ajusted the Packagedefinition.xml as per Dick suggestion. Not sure yet if there is an effect. As per Jay suggestion, here are the...

    MSFS24 Ever seen this with your custom model?

    For documenting the solution to this issue, here is what I finally found while using the bridge to build another one in a new scenery : this issue was caused by too long lines. The original bridge was about 220 meters long. I reused it to build a bridge 280 m long, and was able by ensuring there...

    Building exclusion polygons

    After a few month of trials, removing/putting back/moving/enlarging exclusion rectangle and poly to exclude buildings, gliders and tents, no result has been reached. I'm still stuck. I also updated with the last SDK for FS2024. So I humbly share here my files to see if someone has the...
