• 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.

HI Y'All,

I cannot figure it out. It has nothing to do with flatten ploygon or aptsign.bmp.

I was in Hong Kong scenery. I can see taxisign if I change heading to right somehow disappearing taxisign then more turn heading it went pops up back. What is interfere taxisign disappearing cause of? What did it go wrong?

Thanks,

Stuart
 
My guess. Certain default taxi signs are grouped together using a single reference point. If one sign is too far from this reference point and you don't happen to have the reference point displayed on the screen from a certain angle, that sign will disappear as well.
 
Yes, it appears that this may be the problem. Notice the way they suddenly disappear/appear in groups, just as I describe. All of those signs share a common reference point. When that reference point goes out of sight, all the signs using that point disappear.
 
What is that meaning reference point? Can you please explain it to me? Do I have to remove all taxi signs and re do it new one? It could be old signs default and I put new addon signs. Is that what you mean reference point problem? But I don't get it what is meaning of that. I don't see any of airports like this before. Most airports are fine but VHHH is problem. I dont understand why.

Thanks,

Stuart
 
Consider, if you made all the taxi signs as one model, with each sign in the place where it belongs, then the reference point would usually be around the geographic center of all those different signs that are actually one model. If you look away from the reference point, the simulator does not expend resources to render the model.
 
OK, I try do it again all new ones taxi signs but it is heck of lot of work.

Thanks,

Stuart
