• 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.

MSFS20 Projected mesh unwanted rotation/scale

Hi,

I'm trying to add custom ground polys to my scene via projected mesh but it seems not to keep its own scale and "heading" when it's projected.
Each marking have their own poly and are link in blender + the origin is at 0;0;0 (as mentionned in another thread).
See the pic:

Microsoft Flight Simulator - 1.9.5.0 23_10_2020 22_48_19.png


Green: Non projected mesh with actual scale and heading (moved on Z axis for the pic)
Red: Projected mesh, way too small and heading unknown direction

Tried with several custom polys/objects and it does pretty much the same, but the SDK object, for any reason, don't behave like that.

Any thoughts?

I do have the same issue. Regarding the align problem: Interestingly the pivot points (position and rotation) of the individual objects (in the 3ds max project) must match because the 0,0,0 centerpoint of the project is ignored. Very fustrating. I was working from an old file originally created for FSX and all the layers were in all direction. At some object it did not solve the issue, I had to reset the transform and scale too, convert it to mesh and convert back to poly than suddenly it was okay.

The scaling issue. This is still unsolved for me. It seems that projected mesh has a huge scaling issue. For example in a middle size airport with two runway having the center on the one of the edge of the runway, the second runway will be disaligned by 30 meters. Any thought here?
 
Hi,

I finally figured it out. You're right, it's a scale related issue.
My way to solve it on blender was CTRL+A => scale & rotation

That way youre global object scale will be reset to 1:1:1. No more scaling issue after this tweak !

Hope it will help.
