• 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:

I was excited to see MSFS-2020 v1.13.16.0 rendering of terrain mesh detail was increased for a UK project area that has 1 Meter elevation source data available. :yikes:

Intrigued, I checked a project location in the PNW of USA, and was further excited to see greatly enhanced terrain mesh detail in that location as well. :)


IIUC, MSFS-2020 v1.13.16.0 release notes on the SDK alluded to additional control over terra-forming edits and/or a enhanced elevation data set.

"* Improve heightmap edition"


Many thanks to Asobo for increasing run time high resolution elevation mesh rendering in MSFS-2020. :wizard:


I recommend revisiting project locations to see what local higher resolution elevation source data has been implemented now in MSFS-2020. :idea:

Have fun exploring this new capability for display of more detailed terrain. :cool:

I Have to try the new hightmap editor. I want to hide a HAS under the terrain. Maybe this is now possible. :)
