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.

How to exclude default mesh
George, Could you explain what you mean by broken? Visually, it is working fine (well, I am running P3Dv2.4 right now) - what will be fixed in V3 Dave- whitav8

How to exclude default mesh
GaryGB, The OP screenies were in Native DX-11 using tessellation. One unusual downside to tessellation that I am noticing though is that somehow due to the difference in rendering digital elevation data on the GPU (DX-11) instead of the CPU, the result from a Simconnect call to Surface...- whitav8

How to exclude default mesh
Gary and Holger, Thanks for the interest in the Canyon! I just got "lucky" on the exclude_railroad polygon - didn't know there was such a thing. Sbuilder is great in showing the options. Now I am using the MicroDEM tool to lift up the terrain from NED to cover the bottoms of the pillars (I...- whitav8

How to exclude default mesh
@GaryGB No, I am not using any addons like FTX Global - just the Default plus a few homemade scenery addons. Thanks again for thinking about this. The reference link you point to shows how much thought had to go in to the design for a synthetic world - amazing! I have decided...- whitav8

How to exclude default mesh
GaryGB, I tried an Exclude_All_Railways polygon in SBX and it seemed to solve the problem. I thought that railways were simply textures laid on top of the underlying Land Class - apparently not so. Thanks again Dave- whitav8

How to exclude default mesh
GaryGB, WOW - thanks so much for your response. I edited my question with snapshots of the same exact view of the canyon with defaultFSX/P3D terrain versus the new DEM mesh which I have checked several ways to make sure that it sure that it is smooth in that area - see the TMF viewer (I...- whitav8

How to exclude default mesh
I am building a railroad bridge model across a canyon in Arizona and I wanted the mesh data to be more correct than the default low res mesh. I was able to get a Geotiff for the area (NED data) and used resample to generate a new BGL for the mesh but when I view it in FSX/P3D, I see some sort of...- whitav8

Need an Annotator like tool for large area building generation
Arno, Thanks much for your response! I will try that with ScenProc. Do I need a GeoTiff map photo? I haven't tried ScenProc except with OpenStreetMap data as a quick experiment. Currently, I just use FSEarthTiles to do an airport area in photoreal and then populate it with Instant Scenery... -

P3D v2 AGNRectangularVegetation: Using ModelEntry GUID Rather Than Grouping id?
Jim, Thanks much for your concepts and your documentation. I did discover that Copy/Paste ANNO_txt by happenstance - it is really quite useful in that once you make a pattern for a neighborhood, you can now reuse it easily. The only problem I had was figuring out where the copy was going to... -

P3D v2 AGNRectangularVegetation: Using ModelEntry GUID Rather Than Grouping id?
Jim, I tried your Annotator "script" for the Cottonwoods and Elms - terrific! Could you please create a similar script for some houses and or small buildings? Also, could you explain the elements of these Annotator scripts in terms of positioning so I could make some myself - I guess the key... -

Need an Annotator like tool for large area building generation
I would like to be able to add Autogen buildings to photoreal area BGLs, where I don't have any vector data, that would work somewhat like the Annotator Polygon Region option for vegetation. I would simply pick a GUID for the type of house and then draw a large rectangular area and get many... -

FSX VogelTree, new tool for detecting vegetation like AgenT
Thanks much for your help Vogel, Thanks very much for your help. I will look into using sceneproc as you indicate - still I think that a quick graphical indication by a user of vogeltree that an area shouldn't have trees would be very quick and easy. Thanks for your value support! Dave -

FSX VogelTree, new tool for detecting vegetation like AgenT
No vector data but generic buildings are needed As I and another fellow are saying, we would love to generically repopulate large areas of Photoreal textures (like the new Megascenery V2 or our own FSET areas) with trees and buildings. I would think that an easy to use processor like VogelTree... -

FSX VogelTree, new tool for detecting vegetation like AgenT
Something like VogelTree for buildings? Since I already use FSET for the imagery of an airport area, VogelTree is a perfect tool for generating vegitation. I see that sceneproc is being utilized impressively for Autogen buildings but it requires an Openstreetmap set of data. For use in North... -
