• 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.

P3D v2 Excluding autugen trees on terrain?

I'm trying to create ski slopes using SBuilderX and am trying to figure out the best way to do it. What I've done so far is select my Satellite imagery in SbuilderX. I then traced the ski slopes using the polygon tool. After creating my polygon trace of the slopes I select the polygon, right click and select properties. I then select specific_terrain and in the menu box at the bottom I select AB_excludeautogen. I then compile and get a CVX.bgl file. After placing that file in P3D and activating the file I go to my location and see nothing. Does anyone have a better method of creating special vegetation exclusions on terrain like ski slopes?

Hi Todd,

instead of an autogen exclude type you can use one of the grass or dirt landclass types that don't have autogen on them. That has the added advantage of making the cutlines more visible meaning no longer just "forest floor".

Cheers, Holger
 
Thanks Holger. I actually tried just that today and it works. Now my problem is that not only did the polygon path I made become grass, but the entire adjacent valley turned to grass too.
