• 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.

Hi,

May U ask if a tag that provides a grass texture become in winter time the well known desert look in FSX SP2 ? (See also the topic "Which tag to use ?")
I started to look for this KML-file but I have renamed it... but I have here the file with this tag encluded. Have to see now how I can handle it to remove this tag en make a .bgl. But :( I don't remember how to do that... :confused: have to study in the WIKI...
I wonder if a KML-file is still working in FS, even if it is not located in the xyz / scenery map ? I mention that because I had a FSSC-file outside the scenery map and still showed up in FS. After deleting it, the problem was gone.

--------
I could remove the tag. Build the new files and put them in a certain map (filled in the path). Then activated "Run the tools" and got two .bgl's. Why two ? I put them all in xyz / scenery map ?

I still have the impression that nothing happened: a part of the landscape around my aiport is still sandy colored.

Click to expand...

Yes probably... The FSX KML tags file simply contains the tags specified in the sdk docs for the various landclass poly and landclass types.

It can't stop the "desert" like texture from appearing. I guess you would need a texture replacement to fix that issue?
 
Hi,

Is it normal I got two .bgl files ?

I have installed Adam Mill's European groundtextures for FSX and no desert looking landscapes anymore.

There is also the use of FWTools... when and how to use ? No manual found.
