• 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.

Ground polygon wizard (SOLVED)

Hi,

I have created apron edges using the method explained in the wiki (taxiline creation with gmax) with a semi transparent texture to make them blending with the grass around.

Ground polygon wizard (in the latest build) detect the mdl as a non ground polygon.

Have you got an idea about this problem ?


Best regards

Sorry for my poor English

Hi,

In the latest development release the error message of non-ground polygons should not appear anymore. Instead the wizard will project such polygons onto the ground for you. Are you sure you are using the latest version?
 
Thanks Arno for your reply,

I have the latest version (1.3.0.0r1050 DEV 17/06/2011).

When I'm saying that Ground polygon wizard detects the mdl as a non ground polygon, it's because I can't see the apron edges on the 3D view and their material's name (JPB_asphalt_edge) doesn't appear.

The other part of the apron created in a classical way (spline, capholes ...) is detected as a ground polygon.

see attachment.


Best regards

Hi,

Can you send me to file for debugging?
 
Thanks, I got it and will take a look at it.
 
Thanks Arno to have found that I have made a mistake in gmax :o, mirrored polygons (facing downwards) are removed by the wizard .

Works fine now.
 
Glad to hear that!
