• 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.

    P3D v4 Ground Poly Offset

    Update. Did the math correctly and offset the GP ref point by those values listed above. Everything seems to be aligned properly. I'm content with this workaround for now, but am certainly curious to see if it occurs for all P3x GP's and, if so, by how much.

    P3D v4 Ground Poly Offset

    The position for the bottom left corner of the hard surface in ADE matches the corner of the hard surface in P3D. The concrete apron is just being used to make the surface hard beneath the GP, not for any decorative purposes. Normally, the GP will cover it completely. Unfortunately, the...

    It is certainly the GP that has moved.

    P3D v4 Ground Poly Offset

    Exporting with the latest MCX release does not fix it. I am comparing it with the ADE airport. I have traced the ground poly using ADE/SimConnect in FSX to prevent any overlap, and it works perfectly in FSX. Export the same .x to P3D using the same coordinates and same ADE file results in a poly...

    I've tried doing both, with the same results each time.

    P3D v4 Ground Poly Offset

    Gents, Converting some current work from FSX to P3D. Using the same Afcad file and Ground poly coordinates, I am for some reason noticing that in P3D the poly seems to be offset. This happens regardless of whether the "Optimize Reference Point" box is checked or not. Everything appears to be...

    Tiling Issues

    I usually get to the a point where there are "2 tiles remaining" and then it basically stops working. My internet connection is fine (50mbps down, 6 mbps up) according to Speedtest.Net. I did a full computer scan with AVG Antivirus and there are no threats.

    Tiling Issues

    Yes, the Google server is updated. This is occurring on the Virtual Earth satellite in addition to Google (picture above is Virtual Earth).

    Tiling Issues

    When downloading tiles within SBuilderX, I keep getting this awful tiling problem. This occurs with Google Satellite and Virtual Earth satellite. I have tried 3.13, 3.14, and various combinations of Run-as-Admin and compatibility mode, all to no avail. Anyone seen this before?

    Corrupted .TSD File?

    Haha. Okay, will do!

    Corrupted .TSD File?

    Thanks, Don. With my current .TSD file, though, I still am unable to draw the blend poly. Do I have to re-do all of my work, or is it possible to somehow "clean" the data within TS, then continue working?

    ...and that's why you are the best, Arno. :teacher: Sometimes, I begin to doubt myself. Thank you!

    Corrupted .TSD File?

    Hi Don, (I'm back!) I think this same issue might occur with Blend Polys. I messed up when I was drawing the Blend poly and ended up just deleting the poly. Now, TS is refusing to let me start a new Blend Poly. My first thought was this. The .TSD file in question can be found here. Thank you...

    Volumetric Grass Conversion

    Correct, but it appears that those polys are being filtered out automatically before unchecking this box (because this box is checked by default). At that point, regardless of the checkbox, the polys are no longer there to even have the chance of being exported. This is what it looks like when...

    Volumetric Grass Conversion

    Hi Arno, I am currently using MCX to export my 3D grass through the Ground Poly Wizard as specified in this thread and the tutorial Tic made (which I can't seem to locate). What I have noticed is that when I import my .X or .MDL file that has been exported from 3DSMax, the Ground Poly Wizard...

    Autogen Exclusion?

    Hello again; After exporting my custom terrain to FSX, I have noticed that it seems to have removed autogen in the area within the blend outline. I have only used sculpt nodes and had AB_Flatten selected in the top bar when compiling. Am I doing something wrong or is this another issue? Note...
