• 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.

Layering Textures On Ground Polys Problem

Hey guys,

I've been making my first custom ground polygons and had a couple questions/problems. To create my polygons I follow Bill Womack's tutorial. Everything works fine until I try to add the markings. From what I understand you're supposed to create a new polygon over the base polygon and then apply your markings with alpha channel on the new polygon. However, when I create a new polygon (in this case creating a new plane) over my base poly it mixes with the base poly. I have added a picture for further illustration in case I am not descriptive enough :-). I'm sure there is a simple answer to this problem but don't know what it is.

Once I figure out how to add markings to my poly should I export both the base poly and above polys as a whole or separately?

If I have this all wrong please correct me!

Hi,

It is normal that it will flicker in GMax. When you are tweaking the ASM file you need to give the markings a different layer and that will fix the problem in FS.
