• 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.

Groundpolys turning transparent with certain aircraft

Hello,

Recently I made some custom groundpoly's with Blender and MCX for Drzewiecki's Seattle X KPAE paine field (I converted it to FS2004 for personal use)
I'm used to making groundpolys for different airports without facing any problems, but with this one in particular I'm facing a few issues regarding transparency, and not just with the ground layer, but with the asphalt, concrete, taxiway and runway lines etc... (all placed using the same method with MCX)

This however only happens with certain aircraft, but I have over 340 types of aircraft so I can't pinpoint which amount of aircraft is responsible...

With the 777X, all is working fine, same thing with the TDS 787s, 737MAXs and SSP2012 747-8i

However this is what happens with the 747 Dreamlifter and SSP2012 777-300s and even the default Cessna 172 (actually, all default aircraft cause this to happen...)

As you can see, the aircraft pictured on the tarmac at KPAE on the groundpolys are now visible due to the layers becoming transparent (or semi transparent)

Another thing I noticed is that with some aircraft, switching the Landing lights ON makes the layers opaque again, turning them OFF makes them transparent

I'm at a total loss on how to fix this and I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on
Thank you in advance !
