• 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.

Tarmac Textures not displaying

Hi,

I have just installed an ACG scenery tonight; RAF Marham 1993, and for some reason there are large black sections on the aprons and taxiways. I tried opening the ADEX file to see if I could figure out why, and the sections that are displaying as black seem to be labelled as having a "Tarmac" surface. As a test I have tried re-labelling a heap of the aprons and taxiways from Tarmac to asphalt. This seems to have worked, and those sections now seem to be displaying an asphalt texture.

I am just wondering if anyone can help me with why the Tarmac surfaces are not appearing. Am I missing a texture somewhere. It seems like I am, but I can't figure out why.

Some pics of the issue:

Cheers,
 
Have you confirmed you have a file named taxi_tarmac.dds (or .bmp) in your Flightsim \Textures folder? If not, that's your problem.

Thank you both for the replies. It seems that I am missing taxi_tarmac.dds. All of the other taxi_*** files seem to be there, so I'm not sure what happened to the tarmac one. I will just try and copy the file from my P3D installation.

I have just copied the files from my P3D installation. I was also missing taxi_bitu.dds and taxi_macadam.dds(?).

Thanks again for the replies and info.

Cheers,
