• 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.

Not including certain textures for reducing drawcalls

Hi all

I was wondering if it is possible to exclude certain textures when predicting the drawcalls in MCX.
I have a few light poles in my model which uses a texture sheet that is also used in other models.
When I click on the predict drawcalls button, it is being put into a bigger sheet.
I would like to prevent that the texture is being included in the calculation. How can I do this?

Best regards

Hi,

At the moment there is no way to tell the drawcall minimizer to exclude certain textures. The only work around I can think of is temporarily remove the textures, so that MCX can't load them. In that case they will be skipped.

Click to expand...
Allright so i remove them from the folder, but not in MCX itself by clicking remove?

No, you should not remove the material in MCX, just make sure that when loading the textures images they can't be found.
