• 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.

Put 50000 houses to fsx

I would guess that the number of autogen buildings in a place like LA probably exceeds that number.
 
Oh yes, that can easily be done. I have made sceneries with many more houses.
 
wow, thats crazy, so that means if i dont want to include autogen, having minimum amount of texture sheets, a lot of batching, simple houses shape is already ok to make a heavy scene having high fps?

Hi Desmond:

IMHO, you should be aware that Arno's reply does NOT necessarily mean if you don't want to include autogen you can place 50000 houses into FSX ...in a 'small' local area. :alert:

If you did that, you would likely have appallingly low FPS and other scenery rendering performance issues with even 'simple' Generic houses, if you attempt to place those houses via BGLComp XML scenery library methods instead of placement via Autogen methods. :redflag:


You may wish to review this web page to better understand issues related to autogen placement.
http://c-aviation.net/fsx-tweak/terrain-max-autogen-buildings-per-cell/


FYI: A "cell" is a LOD-13 quad that is 1023 x 1023 Meters in size within the FSX 3D world, and it can not display more than 6000 AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS annotations per 'cell'.

If you attempt to place more than that on a particular LOD-13 quad, you will likely incur "bald" areas devoid of autogen buildings which may occur randomly after the point that the quad 'cell' is already saturated by Autogen buildings from other autogen annotations.


It would be in the best interest of your project that you study the FSX / P3D SDK documents: :pushpin:

You may wish to study methods used by Arno's ScenProc if you and your development team wish to reduce your work-load when making a city with a high density of houses and/or other buildings. :idea:
