• 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.

MCX Export ground polygons to SHP - flipped

Hi Arno,

Just a bug report of something I have seen happening in the latest versions (checked today's dev release to be sure it's still there):
Whenever I export models (be it terrain polygons or more complex buildings) to SHP shapes, the SHP output in QGIS and all other GIS tools is flipped. The output seems to be flipped +/-90° in the Y direction making "top-down" shapes from the models impossible.
I have been experimenting a little with rotating the models in MCX before, which brings the shapes back to proper orientation but couldn't solve consequential problems with earth curvature and/or mirroring appearing then.

Looks like a simple typo bug in the MCX code that may have made it in there with new export features or something like that...
 
I'll have to check, I didn't touch the SHP export in a long time.
