• 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.

Surface Rendering Issue

Hello,

I am trying to get some help on a surface rendering issue that I have been encountering in P3Dv4.5... The airport looks and displays fine from a bit of a distance and altitude (if I slew the aircraft to 2,500ft or move a mile or two away) but on the ground the runways, taxiways and ramps are not displaying properly they are either missing or look broken up... What I have tried so far:

1. Reset All Draw Flags for Aprons and Taxiways
2. Add Ground Poly "airport background, flatten terrain, mask landclass, exclude autogen"
3. Add General Exclude Poly airport background
4. Add exclusion rectangle
5. Reset Drawing Layers to default
6. Run the File priority analyzer to check for conflicts
7. Run the fault finder
8. Changing the Airport elevation slightly to be above default.
9. Checked for .bgl conflicts on my system using airport scanner and windows explorer searches.

None of this has solved my issues... Any ideas? Please help!

Good news! I got it working... Not sure which of these three things fixed my issue but:

1. Did a repair install of P3D and restarted my system
2. Deleted my P3D.cfg and let that regenerate
3. I ran my .bgl files for this airport through the Alpha India Group's FSX2P3D AFD Converter

After doing all that it's back to normal!
