• 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,
Is it possible in material editor to allow values of 2 decimal places for reflection scale, instead of only integers?
If I try to use decimal values it rounds up the value to the nearest integer.
It's more handy for smaller reflection changes, as MCX allows.

Thanks

I didn't realize the control did this. The code handles as a single-precision number.

It's easy to change. Making a new release however involves not an insignificant amount of effort for both Jon and me. Is such a change likely to be of interest to several users? If not, can you not continue to use MCX for this situation?

Should a new release become necessary for other reasons, the requested change will be implemented.
 
Hi,
No problem, I can understand, it's not a fix to justify a new release just for that! :)
Until a new version is out though to correct this behavior, can you confirm if the following workaround I just thought will work?

After creating the material, if I close ADE and then manually edit ADE_GP_Materials.dat and change the reflection scale value to my decimals value, save the dat and load ADE again, WITHOUT editing the material, create my ADE-GP line or polygon and build? Will this overwrite the value in dat file or will it build with the decimal value?

Thanks
