    Discussion Trying to render a functional VC (starting small)

    Try changing your AddMesh order. I'm not sure, but it might work. I had a similar problem where the meshes were defined in the scenery, and after I changed the order, it worked.

    Project Blender Mesh Tools add-on

    I'm not familiar with it, but maybe this link will help you. https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/uranian-moons-for-orbiter-2016.41803/

    Your screenshot is blurry, the text is unreadable. By the way, scaling an object the size of a moon, I don't know if Blender doesn't reach its limits when it comes to handling objects of this size.

    Auto smooth shouldn't be the problem. My tip would be to split your mesh into more than 8 groups. Our meshes for NASSP VC exceed the number of vertices and triangles by far than your city mesh and we have no problems.

    The Vertex count can differ when building the mesh. I'm not sure but every face is splitted and has its own vertices. @Blake knows better.

    Project Blender Mesh Tools add-on

    I tested it on Blender 4.3.2. There are differences when building the mesh, so it is not the same like in Blender 4.0.2. But it seems that the mesh works. Also I noticed that when importing a mesh, round meshgroups are not smoothed, they are faceted

    Discussion Mesh making with Blender

    Ambient occlusion(AO) adds "shadow" when 2 faces connect each other. For example, you have a floor and a wall, were they connect, AO adds shadow. I don't think D3D9Client supports this. Displacement is similar to Bump map. This adds fake geometry to the mesh. Opacity is for transparency...
