• 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.

FSXA Unknown Problem with Photoscenery

So here's the rundown. I'm making a photo-real based scenery for a small Island in the Solomons. The photo-real for the island is made up of two images at a resolution around (a little less than) 60/cm px. After compiling the scenery into a single .bgl file I have noticed a problem (shown below) where the two images meet. This has happened to me on 2 or 3 different projects and I have not found a way to fix it yet.

Originally I thought it might have had something to do with the blendmask, so I redid the whole mask, but nothing has changed.

This is the one problem I have never been able to fix. And its an eye-catcher IMO..

This only happens on this one side of this island as well.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
 
It looks to me like two pieces of imagery coming together there, can you make your sources larger and spread out the blend between photoreal and landclass water a bit more? Either that or blendmask all the water completely out of the photoreal and let the landclass water show right up to the shoreline all the way around the island?

As I stated above, that's exactly what it is. Its where the two images meet. I was originally planning to just use one image for the whole island, but SbuilderX threw me the old 'Cant make Image' error over and over, so I had to download two separate images.
 
Hi,

To me it looks like a default water polygon shining through because the photo real does not cover that part of the water.
Will explain what I think the matter is with a picture:

Just a guess and confirming what JRobinson said as well.

You know, when I got up this morning, I was thinking about that and that could very well be the problem. Its probably just something I overlooked when I grabbed the imagery. If that's what it is, I'll just create another .bgl containing just the imagery I need to patch it instead of overlapping the images. I will investigate in a bit. Thanks!
