Create water pond in airport scenery

Can anybody help me creating a water pond at an airport scenery? I have created a polygone and marked it as water, but there isn’t any water showing.

Use an apron for that grass texture (textured polygons should be avoided)
And
The water polygon need to be larger, min size is between 10/20 per side

Why is that?

And thx for taking the time to answer!

Basically polygons are drawn on top of everything else, making difficult to blend with surrounding aprons
Also they are missing some minor texturing option (UVs) and the ground merging feature (that helps the blending)

When I use grass texture for the apron instead of a polygon, it is really just a texture and not actual 3D grass. Is that correct?

the 3d grass is generated based on the color of the aerial, the more green, the taller and more dense the grass become

in your case you are playin with:

an existin apron that you want to cover with grass

there are several solution,
in your airport properties, tick the delete all aprons, it will remove the Asobo ones (ALL OF THEM), so the aerial is shown and you can have full control on your addon (actually that airport deserver a new aerial, look for the Flying Theston tutorial about that, is still perfect!)

if you want to keep the aprons, and you want to plant grass over them, use another apron with a grass texture and a higher priority, 3d grass will grow :slight_smile:
you can see that using falloff, coloration and opacity you can achieve pretty much the same result as the default terrain

Wow, you actually loaded into the airport I was working on, thanks for the assistance! This is my first real airport I am working on, so lots to learn.
