Title: Flattens
Post by: One-Eye on February 02, 2011, 12:38:47 PM

I am currently "working" on a small sceneryette up on Through Glacier.

I can place objects with Flight 1 Instant Scenery and I can use Flight 1 AFX to create an airport with ICAO code. I have one problem (probably something to do with RTFM) and that isgetting the flatten polys to actually flatten the landscape.

Is this an FTX PacFjords thing?

Fixed. It was fat fingers

This is sooo frustrating!

I get the flattens to work. Then I go away for tea and when I come back I rebuild scenery and the flattens disappeared. I restarted PC and flattens show again.

I do some more editing and restart FS - no flattened areas. Scream? I really could!

What are you using to flatten the landscape? What are you flattening it for? (I guess an airstrip, but I could be wrong!)

Not for the strips - they are slopy or helipads...

It's worked now anyway. Whatever else the handbooks for AFX and Instant Scenery say, you have to do a full FSX shutdown and restart to get everything looking good.

Don't know about less tea but a good cold beer will aide with the frustration factor a lot of time!

As you will understand, it's a seemingly steep learning curve and some things just aren't obvious or clear in the manual.

Amongst them I discovered "layering" of polygons.

It's all very intteresting and fun to learn.
