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.
EZ Scenery Textures not showing
- Thread starter Garysb
- Start date
Hello:
Some FS9 format MDL files placed in FS9 may show "grayed out" backgrounds in areas intended to be "transparent" when displayed within FSX; this is due to the change in how certain aspects of MDL coding are interpreted in FSX compared to earlier versions of MSFS, but there may be other causes for this, so please attach a screenshot of the problem you are describing, and someone can better determine how to troubleshoot this scenario.
Also, please state whether the objects in question are from FS default or a 3rd party custom scenery object library.
Generally speaking, the module supplied for the legacy EZ-Scenery (sold via Abacus) works in FS8 and FS9, but not in FSX.
The scenery object library BGL that is located in a nested \Scenery sub-folder must also have an accompanying local paired nested \Texture sub-folder, which must of course contain the textures mapped onto the models within the library BGL to be visible.
A newer version of that EZ-Scenery utility (by the same author) has expanded features, is called Instant Scenery, and its modules work in FS9 / FSX / P3D.
