• 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.

FSXA Offset lines between ground polygons

Good day to all awesome developers here. I read more and write less, cause it's more fun for me that way, but this time I'm forced to make an exception.

I've tried many ways (poly scaling and unwrapping, down and upscaling textures...) to overcome the problem with this lines that appear like a moire pattern on the edge of a texture. I see that textures are welded together fine and the line appears after the junction of two polys, I assume that there the texture ends after and I've noticed that after scaling and unwrapping the texture by a well known method found here on wiki tutorials. Let me mention that I've created mipmaps with imagetool as it was all shimmering before that, and now I only have problem with these edges to overcome. Maybe if I black out (fade) 2px of the edge with alpha, is that a solution and a good one? I can attach screenshots when I'm at home.
 
I think you mean the white lines between textures? If so, then the Unwrap UVW Modifier should work in this case. You shouldn't use the outer pixels!
This should solve the problem.
 
Here are the Screenshots. It's clearly seen where the textures are joined together and paralel to that the "anomaly" line travels. I wouldn't say it's a white line, more like a transparent 1px line that shimmers when you move around the area. I did unwrapUVW and left outer 2px unused, like in this tutorial, that's why I think that the line that appears parallel is the end of texture that overlaps the junction of polygons.

Thank you Slavi, and for the link to pdf on that tutorial also. I hope I'll find what I've done wrong here.
