• 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.

ADE Airport flatten height not working properly

Hey folks, I had been trying to flatten the terrain mesh to around 6-10 feet, but in the sim the flatten height is way below 5 feet, most probably more than 1 meter
I am using ADE 175, P3D V5 FYI
is this problem caused by airport background flatten which is set to 8.228 meter?

If the cliffs are up to the airport flatten of 8.228m (27ft) , you have a 10m difference between the two flattens. That looks about right from what your pictures show.
 
You need to use ADE 1.79 for P3D v5. This may not be the cause of your problem but would cause other issues if you are not using 1.79 and working on P3D v5 airports

so I should set it to 7.228 meter to get a proper cliff?

Well, I don't understand why your lake flatten is at minus 5ft. Is it intended to be below sea level? You said in your first post that you wanted it to be at 6-10 ft, so why didn't you put that in the elevation box? Is this a mod to a stock airport, or is this a fully custom creation? As Jon says, for P3Dv5 you really ought to use ADE 1.79 dev, otherwise you'll be using the wrong SDK and effectively the wrong terrain model (v5 is different from v4 and all before). Often, you can get away with airfields written for v4 in v5, but it's definitely best to use the right tools when they are available - for free!
