• 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.

FSX Smooth transition between landclass gone

Somewhere in the past month or so I lost the smooth gradient transition between the edges of different landclass classes in my FSX, so I have those hard borders.

I have tweaked my sim more over the past month than the last three years combined, so I really can't remember which was the setting, nor do I want to delete my fsx.cfg and lose all my settings.

If anybody knows what the setting is, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kindly,

Blazer
 
Hi Blazer,

are you using Addon Converter X? I've seen cases where it has converted the landclass texture blendmasks into a file format that makes them unusable by FSX/P3D and thus one ends up with straight edges and landclass as rectangular blocks.

Hi Holger,

Thank you for your help.

No I don't use Addon Converter X, however now that you mention file format, I did have a failing hard-drive late last year, and I had to clone it after running chkdsk to fix the errors.

My FS does "lock up" every now and then with the "not responding" on the top of the window bar where the name "Flight Simulator X" is. The sim does not crash, if you wait, 3, 5 sometimes 10 minutes it comes back. I have used process monitor to see which file was being loaded when the lockup happened and it's mainly the default landclass textures or default scenery BGL.

Maybe I should finally install the FSX Steam Edition I purchased a long time ago when it was released but never installed, just purchased "to have it" for a future use.

Kindly,

Blazer
