• 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 guys
I would apply the LOD tecnique to my model but is not clear what should I do.
I exported, keeping source files, my three models. In this way I have the first xxx.asm files and xxx_0.asm, xxx_1.asm, xxx_2.asm.

The tutorial say to hack the main wrapper file, but in my case which one should be? the xxx.asm?

thanks!

Hi,

Is this for FS2004? In that case you should be able to define the LOD from within GMax by using the proper part names. In that case editing ASM files would not be needed.
 
So what are you trying to tweak in the ASM file then? When using the FS2004 gamepack that should not be needed. Maybe if you try to explain in more detail what you are doing I can help.
 
Hi Arno,
thanks for reply. Currently I'm using SDK2002 as the objects I'm trying to apply the LOD on are the curved taxiways made with loft obj. Since I would reduce the details to save FPS I thought to apply the LOD.
I would export three different models of taxiway, each with less detail of the previous. What I thought was to keep .asm files of each models, than create a wrapper asm file that includes the models.
Is this the correct procedure?
 
Hi,

I guess that could work, you could try to take one of the main ASM files and add the includes for the two news LODs. Around these includes you would then put the conditions to switch between them.
