• 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.

FSX:SE Airfield background poly does not appear

Hi all. I have tried to search for this problem, but all my search results seem to reference photoreal polys, which is not my issue. I'm using ADE 1.76.

I'm currently working on a 1990 version of RAF Finningley, in FSX and P3D/Orbx. For a number of reasons, these are effectively two separate projects that share a few items, and it's the FSX:SE version I'm currently stuck on.

I have removed the stock EGCN using Scruffyduck's procedure, which has worked correctly and leaves almost virgin land to play with. I have constructed RAF Finningley (EGXI) to replace the stock airport, but for some reason my CVX airfield background doesn't do anything! No flatten, no exclude. I've moved the airfield so it's not in any way influenced by the removed EGCN, but no difference (yes, I have the ProKey). If I just move the CVX poly so it is separated from the airfield, and recompile,, suddenly the CVX works - but obviously it's in the wrong place, This happens whether the airfield is in its correct location or displaced away from EGCN.

I've tried different elevations, I've deleted and redrawn the CVX, but I cannot solve the issue. There are no other addons in this intsallation of FSX:SE. I am a fairly experienced airfield builder, but this one is doing my head in! I'd be grateful for any advice - short of starting again...
 
Attach your files here and we could take a look. BGLs and AD4 file.
 
Cheers Tom. The CVX included is a temporary one, expanded to take it outside the EGCN boundary to see if that made a difference.

I have cured this, though I don't know how! Anyway, it's working properly now. However, I now have another problem having upgraded to ADE 1.78 in that the program is not saving a separate OBJ file. Yes, there are many objects in the project, and yes the option is ticked in Settings (and showing in the 'more options' in the compile dialogue). The airfield was saved with a separate OBJ file by 1.76, but won't in 1.78. I'll open a new topic for this.
