• 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.

Hello
I have a Box for example, and in front a Polygone! What kind of Material or texture or what ever do I need for the Polygone, to hide the Box behind?
Important !!!! The Polygone must be 100% transparent !

Thanks for any Help !!!
 
You mean for the polygon to hide the entire box or just the shape of the poly? The two are not the same size so you can't hide the whole box that way.

Give the poly a transparent material AND transparent texture.

That might work. Search those terms on here if you are not sure how to do that in FSDS.

Hi, I mean the shape of the Poly!

OK it is working like you say, but only if I give to the Box also a transparent Material! Now the Poly hides part's of the Box.
Fine, looks perfekt in FSDS, but if I look to it in the Flightsim, nothing is hidden by the Polygon again !!!:mad:
 
Hi,

Can you explain a bit more background? Why do you want that polygon to hide the object behind it, while the polygon itself should not be visible?
 
Hi Felix!
Sure I can...

Look at this Video: http://www.opus2.ch/HUD_Beispiel.wmv
There you see the HUD of the VRS Super-Hornet!
As you see the HUD Infos are only displayed on the HUD Glass itself!
What I did allready 1 Year ago is to place the HUD Gauge about 20 Meters befor the Aircraft! VRS did by the way the same thing!
Then I made a Polygon "around" the HUD Glass, so that everything outside of the Glass will be hidden, in our case the Gauge Background 20 Meters befor us! The Poly around the HUD Glass is the thing I am talking about! It should cover the Gauge Background if you look from a certain angle thrue the Hiding Poly to the Gauge Background.
I hope that was not to complicate :)
