• 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 Help needed my first attempt with SBuilderX

Hello everyone.

I have been following a tutorial that I found on Internet about making photoreal scenery and using SBuilder X.

The tutorial is about reproducing an island but since I'm making a coast line I'm pretty sure that there is an easy way to do what I try to do.

Here are some examples:

(image is big so I put them with links)

As you can see in the first image I try to do what the tutorial says to do for an island but not sure if this is the correct way to do for a coast line.

The area I want to make is very small much more than the entire zone where I added polygons, I tried to create a hole but every time I click on the other line it does nothing.
I had to make the entire coastline by using a background image so I'm sure there is another option to connect the coast lines of the photoreal area to the default FSX coastlines.

How can I do this? At least the scenery shows up in FSX as well as the blendmask and watermask I made, the problem is that I just need to delete the default terrain of that section.

I really hope somebody could help me.

Thank you so much.

Firstly, you need an exclude shore lines polygon for the area you want.

Secondly you need a hydro polygon to place the water in that area.This can simply be a large square.
You draw another polygon outlining the land (you already have this one) and then cut it out of your hydro polygon. This creates a shoreline.
To do this, right click on the polygon (make sure you are in poly mode) representing the land shape, click on set as hole, and then click on the hydro polygon which it will be cut out of.

The land poly should disappear and that should be it.
