• 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.

Landclass tiles placement

Hello there,

I am currently struggling to understand how landclass in FSX works. One of the things that I am wondering is whether it is possible to influence the following parameters when placing landclass polygons:

1. Is it possible to force FSX to use a specific texture from a landclass tileset at a specific location using a landclass polygon? I know that I could use a textured poygon. However, since my terrain is irregularly sloped it would be a millennium task to enter a specific altitude for each vertice.

2. Is it possible to rotate landclass tiles within a landclass polygon, i.e. specifying a specific heading?

I am using QGIS and SBuilderX for my tasks.

Cheers,
Andeeas
 
Hi Andeeas.

The quick answers are no and no.

You can use a resampled photoreal to place any texture you desire. It would have a north=top orientation, so the texture would need to be made in the correct orientation first. Such a texture clings to the mesh.
