• 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.

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Good to hear that fixed it. I still think there is a bug in the logic that splits the roof into segments, with the bigger segment size that will only show for much bigger buildings. So I'll still check if I can fix that bug.

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Hi, I did some more testing, there is indeed a bug in the logic that splits the roof polygons indeed smaller polygons to stay within the segment length limit. Like I asked in the previous post, it would help to know what segment length you are using now. I will try to find where the bug exactly is.

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Hi, I'm looking at the roof issue. One thing I notice when looking at the model is that the roof has many more triangles than I would expect. What are the maximum segment width and height that you have specified for the roof texture? I suspect this value is relatively small. I think this might...

    Hi, This thread is about the Create3DBuilding step that is used to make custom MDL buildings, so these can be any shape. It is not about autogen buildings.

    fsx vector railways

    Hi, As far as I know the terrain.cfg file only has one railroad definition and that is indeed a dual track one. I guess adding a single track railroad would require modifying the terrain.cfg file.

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Hi, I have added the extra material settings, they will be in the next development release. For the roof issue, I tried to reproduce it by drawing a building with a similar shape in the building creator wizard of ModelConverterX, but I can't reproduce the roof issue yet (I tried to dynamically...

    Hi, Adding those extra material settings is not hard, I'll add them. I didn't take the time yet to look at the roof issue you reported before. I'll try to reproduce it with a similar shape. As for the other roof shape, like I explained before it would add a lot more triangles. Therefore I'm a...

    Ok, good to read you fixed the second issue yourself. I have finished implementing the ExportBGL update, so I'll push a new development release right away.

    In just realized the ExportBGL step only has P3D V4 as format and not P3D v4.4, the latter is needed to export PBR materials. So the ExportBGL step does not support 3D models with PBR materials at the moment. I'll have to add that format.

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    Hi, To which format did you export the buildings in scenproc? Did you select P3D V4 or MSFS? Else PBR is not supported. I'm not sure I understand the second issue. Can you show how the output is wrong? Maybe I will understand what happens then.

    scenProc Some thoughts on Create3DBuilding: Parapets and Texture Mirroring control

    There was indeed a bug in saving/loading the size, I have fixed that now. For the PBR material I do not see a bug. When the "Use PBR material" option in the building texture configuration is set to true, I get a building that uses a PBR material with the specified attributes. Which issue do you...

    MCX MCX Attached Object Platform "Ground" Tag Update

    I have added support for the ground collision material tag in the MSFS 2024 glTF reader/writer.

    MCX MCX Toggle DirectX versus OpenGL Normals

    Hi Gary, If you right click on a texture in the material editor texture tab, you will see possible normal map conversions there. MSFS packed is DirectX convention and MSFS source is OpenGL convention, so that will allow you to do that conversion. It is the MSFS package tool that will update...

    Hi, Yes, I will have a look. I did not change the size of the PBR settings, so a bit surprising they are not saved correctly.

    MCX MCX Attached Object Platform "Ground" Tag Update

    If it is a new material attribute, then I will have to add support for it to ModelConverterX. Let me download the latest SDK to see what the exact schema of this material extension is.
