Welcome to
Microsoft Flight Simulator’s SDK Q&A Platform!
When using the VectorPlacement tool, Sometimes the model will display the highest quality LOD as normal but also the lowest LOD, and sometimes it won't.
This happens after you have built the package and loaded it up in the Sim.
I have attached the a screenshot of a custom fence that is displaying the behavior.
This doesn't happen in DevMode by the way, only when you load into the sim with the built package.
This is happening on several custom models of fences. We also took a look at our models to make sure they were tidied up (transformations, LOD correctness etc) and they were
This image displays the issue.
This is when the fence is placed normally as a normal scenery object next to one that is showing the problem. Both are the same model, just placed differently.
In this case you can see at least two different LODs when moving into the location with a heightmap applied underneath. Looks like the lower LOD "clings" to the terrain as is looks like before the heightmap has been loaded and the highest LOD correctly displays on the heightmap.
The model used in this instance is the default "Fence_Grilling04_Little".
