• 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.

Elevation on irregular surfaces

I am adding some city scenery on uneven terrain, where the main area is at 46 metres in elevation tapering down to 9 metres elevation near the edge of the scenery. Buildings created with FSDS display properly except where they appear toward the outer edges (e.g., where the elevation is lower). I have split the project into three parts, compiling each separately, in order to get the outer buildings to sit at their more natural elevations, and the objects appear exactly as before. Have also set the project's elvation to 0 (from a default of 131.9174 metres) which makes no difference either. The only solution seems to be moving the outer buildings to a point below the X-axis ground level in the FSDS project, however this results in building shadows still appearing at their original height, which would then be above the roof of the building! Does anyone know of a way to get scenery objects to sit properly, or a more effective way of editing the elevation. Many thanks.
