• 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.

Hi ya!

I'm having an issue I hope I can get some help with. In the image below, I've created a model in 3Ds max which looks the way I want for now. However, the doors, which are shown correctly in the first image import into the sim upside-down. Has this been an issue for anyone else with their models?

Are you rotating the texture in max with some kind of mapping? I just know it from blender the mapping node can scale and rotate the texture. But this transformation does not get exported to the sim. You have to directly rotate the uv's

The texture is not rotated. However, I think things got mixed up when I mirrored the doors to the other side. This particular hangar is open on both sides. I assume when I instanced the geometry it got turned upside down.

I assume you have rotated the door and it got a negative scale. Usually that's the reason. If you have a message telling you that there is a negative scale which will be ignored. So check for negative scale values

I will check the next time I but, but the console said zero errors. I will definitely check in the next few days.

Its just a worning not an error, that's why...
After Checking I didn't have that warning on the previous building. However, I did have it on another with the same issue. Fixed the negative scale and re-imported and everything looked as I want. Thanks for mentioning that.
