• 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.

Bumpy runway?

If I create a runway polygon using SU for an entire bush airstrip in order to add grass textures (perhaps volumetric grass), how do I then also make the runway bumpy?


Thanks

Hi,

You should use ModelConverterX to convert the model. Then run the attached object editor, and create auto platforms. Then change the surface of the platformes to Grass_Bumpy.

Hello:

Were you wanting a flat and hardened RWY (ex: so that AI traffic will work there) ?

Or were you only wanting to put a custom grass texture on top of the existing "bumpy" (and/or "sloped") terrain mesh of the ground at that "bush" airport location in FSX ? :confused:

TylerPilot,

Thanks, I did not know that Platformtype, so I will try that.

GaryGB,

This airstrip will not be for AI, so the last option is more probable.
I was thinking of using autogen as grass, but an aerial photo of this airstrip is not possible, so I have no way of attaching autogen grass.
 
Hi,

I don't think you have to do anything to make it bumpy, it will be so by default. You normally have to do work to make it smooth (like put a BGLComp runway under it).

Thanks for clarifying this, Arno.
Takes a whole weight off my chest. I thought it was my lack of skill that made my landings bumpy but now I understand it is just a matter of smoothening the runway:);).
