• 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.

[FSX] gMax ground poly hardening without AFCAD

Well,

the thread's title pretty much describes the question. Is it possible, using the FS2002 SDK groundpoly method, to harden the polygon's surface for use in FSX?

I know that an underlying AFCAD apron can solve the problem but the reason the AFCAD aprons are missing is because the ground polys hold semi-transparent textures.

So without the AFCAD underneath, the apron areas are a bit bumpy, any work-arounds?

Thanks a lot

thanks for reminding me of that post!

the landable platform was indeed the best option as it hardens the surface and is itself invisible to the user.

thanks!
 
Hi,

Another approach I have used is the SCASM SurfaceType command. That still seems to work as well.
 
hmm..not too familiar with SCASM, or not at all I'd say, but thanks might consider it later if it becomes a necessity..! so far so good with ground poly hardening through gMax.
