Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
FSX ADE building textures turn black at night?
- Thread starter Ols500
- Start date
That would depend on the what the object is and how it is being introduced into the sim. If you have the MDL file, you can import it into ModelConverterX and study it's properties, including textures. If it's in a library of objects, you can import the library BGL file into ModelConverterX, select the object and examine it.
Okay. You have apparently identified the building as a library object. Once the BGL file is imported, you can scroll thru the objects with arrows on the ModelConverterX task bar. When you have selected the object, select object information from the task bar and you will see a list of textures. If a texture does not also include one with a _LM suffix, it has not night texture. In such a case that portion of an object will appear very dark at night (not necessarily black). If a night texture is included in the object and that texture is missing in the sim, much worse things often happen with the object, including during the day time.
