• 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.

Fence or Net for example.
1. Make one unit, 25m long, then line them up in FS. Whole line is counting about 100 units, each unit contains 4 polys, 2 for grid pole, 2 for net face.
Can I just calculat in this way: 4x100=400polys.
2. Make entire one, that's say 2500m long, place it in FS directly. This time I have 100 grid poles but only one net face, then 2x100+2=202polys
Which way is more efficient for the framerate.
Thanks.
 
Hi,

That is a tricky question to answer. If you divide it in different objects, FS only needs to draw the ones that are visible. If it is one big object, it always needs to draw everything, even if only a tiny bit of the fence is visible.

I think make the fence as a couple of objects is best. 100 different objects will give a lot of drawcalls, so probably about 5 to 10 objects would be best.
