I am working on the KVPS airport and while using the airport background flatten mask class map exclude autogen I get what looks like a second background. See attached. The borders of my background are correct but I get patches of grass and yellow areas. Not sure what I am missing. Thanks!

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:
Some of you that you were not aware of how do it. You don't need to show your ultralight in entire screenshot. All you do is simple. Open FS2004 run and open airport. Press "Y" slew on it. Press "W" twice to instrument completed blank off. Press Q or A up and down. keypad 4 and 6 left or right 8 and 2 forward or backward. That's all. You can take screenshot anywhere you want it. I know it's annoying a little block view hanging aircraft in middle of screenshot.

By the way, you say yellow or green. It is late winter time it turns yellow grass. The background polygen airport around is not able to change color for 4 seasons to read all date. The regular autogen is automatically change 4 color seasons. Is that what you are looking for?

Hi,
This is sometimes due to the underlying landclass type. The grass color is green when there is a wet landclass below, and yellow if not. The patchy nature is due to the way FS displays two different landclasses next to each other - patches of both.

Hi NGDriver,
There is quite an easy way around this patchy look.
1st - chose 'Airport Background Flatten Exclude Autogen' to replace the default flatten
2nd - put a layer of 'Airfield1' on top (just follow the boundary of the previously designed flatten).
That' s the result for spring and summer:
And the one for the other two seasons.
