• 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.

Spurious water

I created a series of sloping flattens in SBuilderX, to get rid of the cliff effect surrounding my airport (FSX). All is fine on the ground of from top-down view, but when I get to circuit height in an aeroplane, those flattens turn to water. As the plane goes round the circuit, the tiles will change back, and different ones become water. This is most weird! Any ideas?

Hi Tim.

Why not include the SBX file as a zipped attachment to a post. Then someone may be able to help you.

I was using a small photo overlay to texture the runway and taxiways. I'd masked the areas I didn't want with pure white. It seems this was causing the problem (although well outside the bounds of the photo - I guess any flatten poly it even slightly contacted with). When I changed to a separate blend file, and non-white in the main bmp, the problem went away. (I was looking for a smoother transition to the underlying scenery, not trying to fix this problem. Just goes to show how interrelated everything is!)
