• 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.

FS2002 Ground polys placed with Sbuilder

My ground polys made with the FS2002 MakeMdl work perfectly in FS9 when placed with XML (as single bgls). However, when added to a library and placed with Sbuilder, compilation of the library seems to negate the tweaks - the flickering returns, no cast shadows, etc.

Is XML placement of these polys the only way to go, or is there a work-around to allow using them in a library? It would make positioning them so much easier.

Hi Fred,

No, you not even place Fs2002 style ground polygons with XML code. They should be positioned directly with the coordinates in the ASM file.
 
Hey Arno,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I do place the polys using the tweaked asm file compiled into a bgl - I'm new to asm tweaking, and had that confused with XML.

So it's a true statement then, that FS2002 polys cannot be properly placed in FS9 using a library?

Hi Fred,

That is right.

The only way to place them with a library would be to make a Fs2002 style library (with FsRegen) and then place them with tweaked API macros to get the LayerCall right. But that is not something I would advice :).
