• 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.

FSX Mesh looking strange

Hi,

I am trying to do a mesh terrain. I did a greyscale map and converted it with resample exe. The mesh fount it's correct place, but there are two things:

1) I have a terrassing effect (screenshot attached)
2) the elevation hights of the points above the Base Value (especially the higher points) are way higher than I supposed them to. I planned a bit brighter means 1 m higher?

I tried to use the "FractionBits" but it had no effect.

How can I make the mesh finally look smooth?

Best,

Arne

I had a 8bit TIF. Now I have converted it to 16bit, but it has made it all worse. I played around with FractionBits and Scale. Higher FractionBits made the mesh a Flatten, but when I lowered them I got mile-high peaks. Scale didn't have a real effect either. Very frustrating:confused:
 
Yes, the Fraction Bit could change something, lowering the compresión too, there is something to limit the max height of the files. In the SDK tell "something". and don't know if could be more tweaking to solve these problems.
 
I see- My problem is the fact that I started with an 8 Bit picture- transforming the picture to 16 Bit is not possible, and resample can't work with files that are not in a proper 16 Bit format. But now- How can I achieve my image working as a resample input file?
