• 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.

Whisplacer Trees shadow

Hi all,
I have placed a number of trees for fsx with whisplacer (just ones that use standard fsx autogen textures) However they are casting a square shadow on the ground. There is an option to disable shadow in whisplacer but once you go back into it the shadow tick is back on again.

I've attached the xml code if anyone can suggest a method of removing the shadows.

Thanks

Terry

Yes, I did notice that Whisplacer didn't do this, after editing a few hundred trees...

However you can add this to the XML code yourself, before the '<LibraryObject name=' add '<NoShadow/>'

Other switches remove crash and leave autogen, but I've never got more than one switch to work at a time.
 
Yes, I find it easier to place anything which requires XML tweaking into a separate file, where the name represents what I need to do with it -- I normally have a placement file called treesnoshadow for each project -- so that I can edit them right at the end, before combining into one XML placement file.
That way I can just use notepad to automatically search/replace.

For example I'd search for 'altitudeIsAgl="TRUE">';
and replace with 'altitudeIsAgl="TRUE"><NoShadow/>'
