• 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.

Hello...

Where is the texture placed in regards to the imported file and have you placed it in the proper slot within MCX...

You imported to SU? or exported it? If you imported to SU... then you do understand that SU can't read DXT3 files right?

Leave the file you import into SU as a regular 24 bit BMP file. Use the DXT3 file only within FS.

you can add a textured polygon on top, but take care of the flickering, those polygon tend to flicker, you should separate it from the Wall enough

Hello...

The best option is to layer it on top of the metal texture within your photo editor,... otherwise flickering can occur along with additional vertices count.
