• 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.

FSXA Flickering GroundPolygon Photoreal

Hello there guys !

i finished my previous scenery thankfully ! gonna release very soon.

now im working on another project using the method Ground Polygon photoreal. it's Clearer, Sharper, Does not get blurry from distance, dose not have that wired "detail1.bmp" Grass effect, Can replace SCASM Tweak with smooth surface with a runway under it.

i tried to do and i faced a flickering problem in it as you can see heres my MCX Settings :

and heres how it flickers in FSX :

Notes :

1- i used the Altitude as the runway and i got it from ADE ( i used this method on my previous scenery and i didn't get this problem )
2- im using 4096px rather 1024px ( i know.. it's a lot but i only used two pictures so not that much )


Thanks guys !!
 
If the whole area covered by the ground polygons flattened at the airport altitude?
 
i fixed the problem arno by extending the flatten area.. now i got another problem :

These are from the terrain under it it came above the Ground poly, and yes its flatten ..
 
Can you check how the bgl file looks after you load it into modelconverterx again? This looks similar to a bug that was reported before.
 
Heres how it loocked after loading it into ModelConverterX Again :

it stays like that with out finishing .. im going to wait and send you the result after waiting
 
Hi,
I think you cannot load your .BGL file exported by ModelConverterX. I advice you always to put altitude to 0.0 in order FS place the GroundPolygon .BGL file directly above the Default ground, also try to higher the LayerNumber as 12 or so ..

Congrats you finish your scenery =D
 
Hi,

If there are a lot of gp objects (lines and polygons), MCX takes a while to load them (sometimes several minutes).
Be patient a while longer and see what happens.
I get the unknown opcode as well but MCX in the end loads the gp objects perfectly.

No, the correct altitude is essential when exporting to FSX or P3D. This altitude is used to calculate the curve of the earth, so if you enter 0.0 that will not be done correctly and you will have problems. So always enter the airport altitude in meters in the GPW.

ModelConverterX can load the BGL file made with the GPW. From my experience it should not take too long, but from Robystar's experience it seems it can sometimes take a while.
 
Arno,I am talking about some 600 gp models in one bgl:).
It then looks as if MCX is stuck but after a while it starts loading the textures and shows the models.

Which problems you're talking about, Arno ? =D
Had never faced a problem when exporting Ground polygon with altitude of 0.0, I've no flickering ground or something like that. Actually, I use ADEX to create flatten cvx under my airport. Also make sure you didn't change the altitude of flatten terrain polygon at all, and don't change the altitude of the airport.

I tried several times to load my ground polygon .BGL exported by ModelConverterX but without any results, sometimes it loads normally however i find some flickering ground in ModelConverterX but it looks fine inside FSX. The essential is to see your ground perfectly if Flight Simulator :)
I managed to load my ground polygon exported by MakeMDL - FS2002 so gamepack 2002 before.

You would get gaps between the different groups of polygons. And you might see that they flicker a bit in extreme cases when the curve is really wrong.

Thanks mate i will try to load it again, btw sorry about what happend in Facebook it was dumb, im going to add you again..
robystar
i only have two Planes so it shoulden't take that long, but ill wait and see..
arno
i already sat my altitude to the airport and still the same problem..
 
Yes, right, I forgot to tell you that the underlying flatten should cover the whole of the bounding box of the ground poly.
 
Guys i had to convert to another airport. and i did the photoreal Ground polygon.. and i got the same problem again !
and i tried to extend the Flatten to the Bounding box and it didn't work ! so here's a picture of the problem again :

and it's in some places in the airport.

here's the BGL after i opened it via ModelCoverterX after converting :

Hi,

If in MCX you go to the object that has the runway, so you see the gap missing there as well? If so, you might have found a bug.

i zoomed out and i didn't find the runway part because this is a ground polygon.

i only can see this square.

here's the photo before converting it to BGL :

and after converting it it becomes like that :

With the arrow buttons in modelconverterx you can move between the different objects in one bgl file. Your big polygon is divided in multiple segments for performance reasons. So try to find the segment that matches your screenshot in FS with the missing gap.
