Flattening the default scenery (FS2000 issue only) In order to provide backwards compatibility with third-party designed add-on scenery, Microsoft provided two methods of accommodating the add-on scenery to the default FS2000 elevated mesh terrain. First of those methods is a "Flatten" switch. It is a command that will level all default mesh terrain to a certain altitude, in effect creating a "plateau". This command must be entered manually into the scenery.cfg file found in the main FS2000 directory. This command can be used if the default terrain needs to be lowered so that the scenery that will be designed for that particular area can completely cover the default scenery. Otherwise, default scenery and add-on scenery would occupy the same general area, in which case the default scenery might "peek through" the add-on scenery. In future, TerraBuilder will provide automatic insertion of this command into scenery.cfg file. For exact, in-depth explanation of how to use this switch, please read the official Microsoft document found here. |
