• 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.

Creating trenches

As a raw beginner to scenery design, I need help determining the best tool to use. I need to create a few hundred miles of WWI trenches through France for CFS2. I have done lots of aircraft design with FSDS2 and airfield design with FSSC but neither of these seems to apply to what I am trying to do. Is there a way to simply overlay an image without changing the terrain elevations? Any guidance would be helpful. I really don't want to spend much time on this as I am deeply involved with the creation of about a dozen aircraft at the moment. All help is appreciated.

I wonder if you could do it with an airport base polygon. It allows you to set an elevation. Also a flatten polygon. I don't think either one will give you real steep sides. But maybe that isn't important since they aren't real deep. It would be very easy to experiment in SBuilder with either of those.
 
Yes, I have used FSSC to create large flat areas and put in the trench texture. It works OK but the trenches were not flat, they followed the countour of the land. I was hoping there was a way to put the image of the trenches and no-mans land to the existing elevation mesh. I really don't care about having real notches in the ground for the trenches.
