Re: Gound Polygons troubles using FSDS macros ...

[rundio]

When i create ground polygons macros using FSDS i see bleedthrough(Odd
Visibility in FS200)in my macro polygons generated by FSDS when i test it in
FS2000.
Is there a way to solve that trouble?

FSDS does not do 'ground polygons.' It uses the 3d polygons for everything.
A scenery design program, such as ASD or Airport will give much better
results for ground features.

Hi,
I use ground polygons made with FSDS. I also had this problem and I solved it
only with flatten switch. I also suggest You, to use as much of polygon as You
can with nontransparent bitmap. I have a problem with ground shadow and I hope
I will solve it.
And please take care if You'll make macro for each bitmap and then join tmacros
in Airport - do not use the whole bitmap but leave 1 pixel on the top and on
the right side of bitmap otherwise You'll get annoying thin line through which
You can see the ground.

But it is much easier to create a good looking ground polygon, even with the
fault that the bleedthrough happens. It only does with the aircraft shadow
option. I do also create most of my ground polygons with FSDS and to my opinion
they look much better!

Thanks Goran:

I want to create aprons but with the texture orientation or heading parallel to
my runway and buildings.

Thanks.

Hi Alfredo,
I was thinking just of such ground polygon. I made a macro with 6 512x512 pix
textures and bleedthrough was solved after flatten switch. I also noted strange
behaviour when turning on ground shadows. I fixed it witch commenting
ShadowCall function in API.
If You need any more assistance with this send me an e-mail on
