Grass issue : I do not see grass texture on ..G.c3d

[corlier]

Hi

I'm working on a new scenery for C2 : Luxembourg2

I have made a lot of tries but I don't see the grass texture in my AirfieldG.c3d
I've checked everything : triangulated, 1 material, RGB 1/1/1, ... all ok except that in ObjectEditor I only see the under surface ! (?) (As if horizontaly mirrored ) What happened ?

Or is it a UV mapping error ?

In the guide the description is light and I can not use AirportMaker tool (because of non-rectangular shape ... and more)

In LandscapeEditor it look likes ok (draw objects... all is at the good position) but at this step it's not possible to check the grass texture

Another problem :
I flatened the terrain (more than the airfield extent) but I see something strange : the glider's main wheel is on the ground... but those of the towplane are partially undergrounded ! (?) Terrain issue ?
Is it because of multi-flaten actions (data corrupt) ?

It's ok with my AirfieldO.c3d (3d markers, windsock, etc)

I had no issues when making Tian-Shan2 ... but there was no grass ( I have made empty AirfieldG.c3d for this scenery)

Help needed please !

P.S. except in Slovenia2 I found 0 grass textured airfield on the others sceneries (?) Not so easy ...

Thanks

Grass is not rendered in Object Editor. You must be in Condor to see it.

The towplane wheels are ok They are the same in Slovenia2.

Hi andy,

Did you put your grass object on zero y axes after extract in y derection ( Asolute comands).
Take a look at my videos me be it helps.

Hi Andy,

the description in the guide is "light" because I hope there will be more proper airport tutorials, like Jan's videos. Also, unlike the other steps that are more or less the same in different programs, modelling procedures may differ significantly, program to program. That's why this section is relatively brief.

What program are modelling your airport in?

1 - I use Sketchup for basic modeling, then export to .obj

2 - I open the previous .obj with Wings3D then change names (Grass, Asphalt ...) and make UV mapping

then export again in .obj

3 - I open then ObjectEditor, make the settings (spec, shiny, R,G,B ...)
then save as .c3d

And now it works

but I only see grass texture on ground and in the cockpit. When I use camera view f2, I don't see grass anymore.
UV mapping ?

F2 screenshot please

I see Grass with F2 but only at ground level (same as Slovenia2), then let's say it's ok.

But towplane wheels pb still remains :

It was that (few mm only), thanks Jan !!!
