• 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 Viewing compiled scenery BGL in TMFViewer & Annotator

Hello All,

It's my first attempt to create a photoreal scenery with SBX, so please bear with me if I'm asking too much of the already known and posting under irrelevant threads.

As the title reads, I have a problem with viewing the scenery compiled with SBX in TMFViewer and autogen annotator. In both apps the image shows extremely distorted / tilted although in FSX and SBX the same BGL shows up OK. This causes problem with autogen and landclass I want to apply to the imagery since I'm afraid I'll be putting objects in tilted positions. My only guess that's due to the proximity to the northern pole but I'm not sure...

Below is the coordinates and screenshots of the area I'm working on, if that can help.

The closer the scenery is to the poles, the more distorted images in the geographic-WGS84 projection will appear. I'm guessing this is what's happening.

Thank you Dick, after some trial and error with autogen placement I thought about the same since the objects put on tilted image show up OK in the sim. I also edited OP. So, I guess my only option is to put autogen objects directly on tilted image for this particular scenery...

Thanks a lot!!!
