Making Scenery | Part 4 - Making it look spexy with ground polys

[@ampnaris387]

Great work!! Hi, I’m from Thailand. I’ve been watching your channel for thousands of times during this year. I have my project to create some Sceneries in Thailand. I started absolutely with ZERO skill on scenery creation, even Sketch Up. Your channel helps me a lot for this. thanks you!

[@JuanPablo-lx8wo]

Congrats on your child!! I have made my first scenery thanks to you 👍

[@itzamedave6242]

Great video congrats on the new edition 👍 hope to figure out how to do this gave it a few try and see now where I was Missing a step in SketchUp 🤞

* 7:51 Tip: to make this blur you can select the transparent area by color, with the option "enlarge selection" you increase the area, and then with "Gaussian blur", how much to increase the selection, or how much to blur, depend on the size of the image. Thanks for the tutorials, *have a great 2021,* greetings from Argentina. PS: "increase selection" is the name in Gimp, it's the program that I use, but I suppose that all image editing programs should have this option.

Hi Mark, thanks for the videos - they’re a big help! I’ve been having a go at making my own Manston and I was wondering if you could tell me how to make the ground polygon appear underneath the ADE AFCAD. At the moment I’ve got the satellite image from FSET appearing above things like the runway and aprons rather than as a background.. Again thanks for the videos, I’ve subbed so I’m up-to-date on anymore, cheers!

[@Soarflyconcepts]

Yes, if you compile through FSEarthTiles Then add that scenery, your AFCAD will be above the imagery.

[@thecameronperson5662]

Brilliant thanks! Also I was wondering how you made the ground layer slightly transparent to add more detail? I noticed you said to keep the group closed and then explode afterwards but I can’t see the original base image anymore…

Hey Mark! Thanks so much for your tutorial videos! I had a specific video request, can you make one in which you create ground marking textures (runway ahead, 14-32/09-27 etc), import into ADE, and then place them in a scenery using ADE and finally load into simulator to check. I cant seem to get myself sorted with this, ground polys never loads for me for some reason. Thanks! :)

[@Miku-uw2sl]

I have a slightly weird problem: The converted ground poly bgl file has 2 triangular holes near the centre of the airport and I’m not entirely sure what is causing that or how to fix it.

[@Soarflyconcepts]

That sometimes happens with MCX the only way around it I have discovered so far is to export the main GP again then run it through MCX. It's just one of those things that sometimes happens.

Hello Soarfly, hope you are doing well. I know you don't really have much time ob your hands but, is it ok if we can get a freeware WMSA scenery? Your WMKC scenery is 10/10 and Im still using it. Thanks as always

[@andrejjan2240]

Why I am always reading your title as Making Scenery/ Part 4 - Making it look sexy with ground polys :):):):):) ... spexy - sexy

[@Soarflyconcepts]

Yeah that's what I was going for 😄

[@trivan9101]

hi, im having a problem and i hope you can help me. When i load the scenery to p3d, my scenery is loaded but the texture is kinda corrupted and all i see is just a black cover my scenery. And i have no idea how to fix it :(

[@Soarflyconcepts]

Usually black means the textures were not loaded correctly or are the incorrect format. P3D needs for the textures to either be DXTBMP or DDS. Make sure you add the scenery and textures to the correct folders :)

[@trivan9101]

@@Soarflyconceptsi think i had saved it as BMP😢. Thanks for your help i really appreciate it🥰

[@manu0598]

hello how can i create an sloped runway in FSX/P3D using ground polygonds?

[@Soarflyconcepts]

Sloped scenery is a 3D model in most circumstances. The easiest way to create it is to make an actual model and give it a hard surface (landable)

[@manu0598]

@@Soarflyconcepts and then how can i make the ground poly follow the slope

[@Soarflyconcepts]

@@manu0598 in general you can't, ground polygons are flat. To display undulations you need a mix of ground polys and 3D models

[@akhilvijay8670]

.dae exported from sketch having a full white background. How to get rid of that white bg? nees assist...!!

[@Soarflyconcepts]

Teaxtuers should be in a folder called the same for example your .dae is hill.dae the folder will be called "hill" if you encounter issues after using mcx youll need to make sure the textures are in the correct format for flight sim
