• 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.

Polygon Help!!

Hey Everyone,

I was hoping that all of you masters that hang around here might be able to help me. I need help making a polygon for fs2004. Im using FSSC and I created my flatten and exclude all ok. I made my runways, taxis, and tarmacs in AFCAD2. Im realizing that I cant do a polygon successfully in FSSC that will work. I cant deal with ground2k4 and was going to use PolyB or Sbuilder but Im stuck!! Can some tell me where to start? What I need to do step by step? I have been all over the web with tutorials and forums alike. Im new at scenery but taught myself how to paint . So If I have good instructions, I can master this!! Thanks.

Dave.
 
Hi Dave,

What kind of polygon are you trying to draw? Should it be an apron, a city, ...

If we know that we might be able to give you a better advice.
 
Thanks for responding Arno, Im trying to do a grass polygon to cover the airport ground. But of course my afacad2 runway doesnt show when I lay the polygon from FSSC. Flatten is great and exclude is great Ijust want to get rid on the unban landclass that surrounds my runway.
 
Hi,

For a grass polygon I would use a VTP polygon. That is also how MS does it in the default scenery. You can make these with either Ground2k4 or SBuilder. Personally I prefer the interface of SBuilder.

The easiest way to place a single polygon is to use the connect with FS. You can then see where you aircraft is in FS. If you then slew around the airport you can rather easy see where you need to draw the polygon.
