• 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.

P3D v4 Texture Size

Hi all!

Just wondering (and hoping since I just finished the diffuse paint kit in 2048!) what the acceptable texture size for P3Dv4 aircraft is?

I notice the SDK documentation still says the texture size is maximum 1024x1024... I am sure other AI aircraft I have used in the past (e.g. from FAIB) have had larger textures? I thought perhaps the 1024 is a throwback to older sim versions and the documentation hasn't been updated?

Can anybody advise?

Cheers

Adam

FSX may go as high as 4096. The same should apply to P3D.

The SDK hasn't been updated since the release of Acceleration, which was ten years or so ago.

Cheers for the reply! I'm finding the SDK documentation rather unhelpful lol. There are whole sections referred to and even linked.... which don't in fact exist! I was hoping that with P3Dv4 being newish that updates would follow, but from the sounds of it.... this may not be happening! This place is a wealth of knowledge though.

Appreciated

Adam
