• 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.

MSFS20 Wind Turbines at Landmark?

Hi All,
I have seen tutorials which state that it is impossible to hide the windmills with polygons or exclusion rectangles. I can vouch for this being true as I have tried both to hide three wind turbines which got generated at Jennette's Pier on the outer banks in NC USA. You can find them right along the beach just south of the Wright Brothers Memorial. I am able to hide the auto-generated buildings at the Wright Brothers Memorial, which were way too large and don't match the real world. The ground images will do until better 3d models can be made into a package, for pilots flying over the Wright Brothers Memorial.

My problem is with a very well known landmark just south of the Wright Brothers Memorial, Jennette's Pier. It's right on the beach just south of the Wright Memorial. There is a ground photo of the building and the pier going under water right where it should be. You can find the pier quite easily, just look for three windmills rising up from the center of the pier. LOL This is my problem. Even if you model or find a model of the pier or just try to replace it with a better image, the windmills remain. I believe the only hope for this area is divine intervention by ASOBO, perhaps on a future patch or update, still I wanted to ask the excellent FS Developer community if anyone has a solution or work around for me?

I know it is a very big planet with an impossible amount of terrain and billions of structures and the auto-gen is our best bet (only hope), but of all the locations that may need some special love (USA Update?) from ASOBO/MS, one might think that the area around the "birthplace of powered flight" might be first on the list to make beautiful, in the ultimate flight simulator. Thanks all.
