• 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.

XY difference beetween FSX and GE

Hi all,
I'm new to scenery disgn and try FSX KML since short time, It's a great great tool you made!
I have a little problem on the scenery I'm working on, as it seems there is a shift in XY beetween GE and FSX.
What could be the solution?

here are a few screenshots of Kilimanjaro International airport.

I have another question about the limit beetween landclass polygons, the limit is usually too sharp and doesn't look very natural, any way to solve this?
 
Looks good!

I can't see whats wrong, can you explain some more please?

But regarding the landclass poly boundaries, yes they seem to be quite hard edged.

I think the only way to get blending is to use landclass "tiles". It's not in FSX KML at the moment but is planned. Here's the development roadmap

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=FSX_KML#Development_Roadmap

Is Doug Matthews (@ ACES) reading this? Does FSX still "blend" landclass "tiles". Ive noticed that landclass "tiles" in FSX don't seem to blend very much like they do in FS9. Also, is there still a performance hit to using landclass polys over landclass tiles, i would imagine so?

ps: Thanks Doug for visiting this forum. I appreciate it.

Yes FSX does blend LC tiles. In other words there is some "merging" on the cell edges between two LC types.

I have not compared the differences between FS2004 and FSX on LC blending though.

As Rhett noted, yes FSX blends between landclass tiles. There is not, however, bending between landclass polys and the underlying landclass tiles.

As for perf, any additional geometry that must be added when the textures are composited must have some impact. I don't expect a reasonable number of these are cause for concern.
