• 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.

MSFS20 Roughness totally ignored in comp map

Hello everyone!

This issue is totally weird.
I have some buildings which I exported and placed in my scenery 1 month and a half back.
They were working fine at the time, and I just left them there while I modeled other parts of the airport. Now, after 45 days I'm back in Dev mode and this has happened:

As you can see, those black "glasses" are opaque panes now. You say "is the comp map ok?". Yes. I triple checked it. It shows nice and reflecting in both Adobe 3D Painter (Substance) and Blender as seen here

This is blender

And this is Painter.

The export profile is right, and I would like to remind that the models were working and I never re-exported them again. They just suddenly stopped reading my comp maps.

As you can see from the PBR Roughness debug, a lot of models (look at the interiors and the models on the right, that were suppose to be more or less reflective now are now read as white (1.000 value) roughness.

Unfortunately I am on mobile and I can't post my comp maps, but they were totally fine.
This is what I tried:

- performed a clean all, deleted the models, re-exported and rebuilt.

- re-exported the maps from Painter and re-done the above.

Not tired of saying, and worth re-mentioning.
The models worked fine before, no export has been done since then.

Any ideas? This is the weirdest thing which is happening since I started modeling for MSFS!

It's getting my head really sore 😂
 
Ciao Cristian,
I had a problem like that some times ago

In Blender, in your shading workspace, make sure that the affected materials are connected to "gltf" (can't Remember the exact name, Is in a green box on top right of the nodes)

Sometimes, copying the object among seveval Blender files, the materials are somewhat corrupted poiting to gltf.001 gltf.002 etc

Some useful info

MSFS20 - Blender2MSFS breaking metallic texture output

There seems to be an issue with the Blender2MSFS (0.40) breaking the metallic texture output. The problem is, in the gltf file the texture definition should look like this: "name" : "w582_engine6_new", "normalTexture" : { "index" : 71...

Ciao caro!

I'ma check the shader notes when I am home but, as far as I remember, only the Red Channel goes to the GLTF AO settings node. G and B channel should (and are by default) connected to the respective channels in the BSDF Shader then to the output, and I can say that's how my other models (the one which works) are by now...omg I get confused 😂
 
I forgot to mention that exporting a cube with the same settings and a reflective texture has the wanted results, so with the reflection working perfectly ,which is pretty weird since I can't get it to work in any way even re-exporting and re-building with the involved buildings

Damn you smartass! This was the issue I suppose! I'ma try to ri-export everything which has been affected and see if it solves the problem!
