• 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.

SBuilder Terrain Texture Seasons

Hi, All

I want to change the texture on an island with SBuilder. The island is tropical, about 10 km by 8 km.

The FS appearance of the island shows a few fields and a few buildings that this island doesn't have, so I changed the ground texture with SBuilder, using a large polygon that covered pretty much the whole island.

It worked, as I have done this many times before, however...

Even though this is a tropical island, the texture shows seasons, and that is the problem, because the season doesn't change on the whole surface together, and straight lines appear separating the tiles with different seasons (no dithering).

Now, I know how do do a complete makeover and go through all the agony of manipulating the seasons, and making the dithering that blends one season texture into another. I have done that before, so that is not my question.

I was just trying to improve this one island a bit with a simple polygon, and I ran into this problem.

So: Is there a way of making a simple (albeit large) SBuilder ground texture polygon, using default textures, which won't have straight lines separarting the different season tiles?

Thanks!:)

Have you tried changing the land class for the island instead of laying a polygon on top of the existing land class?
 
Land class, polygon

Hi, Mike

Yes, I have, and it does the same thing, but, as I said, I know how to handle the seasons that way, and I don't want to do it.

I am just trying to do a quick thing, with a polygon.

Any other hints, anyone?

Thanks!

Fern
